I’ve lost a rpd suddenly during daily ops a couple of month ago by OOM, ATAC 
investigated the issue for months and conclusion was solely OOM. Referring to 
my question, Tim says "Enabling this will cause RPD to restart as you kill one 
process and start another.“. That’s what I suspected, but is contradictory to 
the Juniper documentation, thanks! :-)



Best,
Theo

I’ll ask the obvious question — do you actually have a ‘need’ for this?

Even on systems with many peers, 5+ full tables, and a full IGP mesh, I haven’t 
seen rpd much over 1GB of ram in use.  64bit rpd would only be beneficial if 
you have a need for a rpd process using more than 4GB of ram.

Is this a theoretical use case, or is there an actual need?
