One last question- am I correct that copy of FIB is kept on this microkernel SDRAM? I mean there seems to be a clear correlation between amount of routes in router and CFEB microkernel memory utilization. The reason I assume this is because if I upgrade the SDRAM SODIMM on CFEB(i.e. upgrade the memory for microkernel), then total amount of "heap" memory on CFEB increases and if router has more routes, then the usage of "heap" memory increases.
