I don't know who told you that but scanning a routing table can be a real cpu hog when you have one or more full feeds.
Read the full replyWhat's the absolute cheapest Cisco solution to handle the whole BGP table? I've been told that BGP is not cpu-intensive, so the main thing you need is RAM. So what's the cheapest Cisco router that can be configured with 2 10/100 interfaces and handled the whole table?

One whole table or two? Inbound soft reconfiguration?

I don't know if it is the cheapest, but a 1841 with 384 RAM will handle a lot of sessions. The CISCO1841 comes with 2 10/100 interfaces and 128 MB and is $1,395 GPL. You have to add some $$ for a BGP capable version and some other $$ for additional RAM.

I wouldn't even try it on anything less than 3745's loaded up with RAM. BTW, scanning the routing tables can eat up CPUs.
I am currently running 2 3725's connected to 2 different ISP's. Both routers have 256mb of memory. They recieve full routes using 50% of memory and about
17 - 20% processor. This is with 10mb to the >On 25.03.2005 00:26 Hansang Bae wrote
