I've seen some posts for minimum RAM to run eBGP but I was wondering what is the minimum hardware.
Is a 28xx sufficient? We currently have a 2811 with 256 MB.
I know a 38xx will work but it's much more expensive.
Thanks,
Kevin

This is not such much a question of HW nbut what traffic you are expecting.
So calculate your expected pps and compare with your model. With small pps eben a 18xx will be fine.

Does anyone have an estimate for how many pps full BGP will need after the inital setup?

I'm currently seeing between 0.8 and 1.1 update messages per second per full feed peer.

Can anyone let me know how much of memory will be needed if the router is having the full internet table of 160 K, asking it here since it is a related question

You either want to have two (or more) times the full table or you are just happy with a default route. A single full table does not buy you anything.
The minimum RAM question was answered a few minutes ago. Please have alook in the archives first.

So , I understand 256 MB is enuf to have 2 times the full routing table. Thanks.
