Hello!
You are true. But if you build HW routers based on linux, the kernel crash or the bird crash are the same problems.
Not exactly the same -- the userspace crashes are at least automatically recoverable.
Today's BGP adds about 100 000 items into routing table. It uses a lot of memory and I'm not sure, that the transfer is so efficient.
It should be -- last time I've tested it (one year ago), I was feeding my kernel with full BGP tables from the default-free zone and there were no performance problems.
