Hello, I'm looking for help on sizing hardware to use BIRD as route-reflectors. We have multiple routers with N x Transit providers (internet fullview v4/v6) and N x IXPs. We plan to replace our existing HW based on vendor routers to Software based routers. Obvious reason is performance/compute BGP updates on x86 boxes are supposed to be much better than limited router CPU/RAM. We want also to add some diversity in our RR setup, choice is not made yet but we plan to try routing VM from Cisco/Arista/Juniper vRR solution on one side and BIRD on the other side. 2 software providers means more work... but we suppose that if a bug is found on one side, the other one won't have it. Quick specs: - AF v4/v6 unicast, v4/v6 flowspec . - BGP add-path. - 50/100 peers, some are edge routers with internet scale, other are internal routers with only a limite subset of routes. - We want to implement BMP in a near future (does not seems avail in BIRD yet) I wonder if this would fit for BIRD router box, with some room for future growth in the DFZ. - CPU: Xeon gold 3,2GHz 8cores/16threads - RAM: 32 or 64gb How would BIRD behave with such HW specs ? is it overkill ? Thanks in advance for you help/comment Nico
