But if all you're talking about is a branch router with 2 WAN links, do you really need to carry full BGP routes? Is it really that important to get optimum routing in this situation?
In fact, I even doubt that you need 64MB of RAM for your BGP. Just have both ISP's hand you a default. Or perhaps a single BGP route from, say, UUnet, and then recursively point your default to that route ""Circusnuts_1999"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I was under the impression full Internet route tables required 128 Megs > of RAM, with 256 as the target build.
