The last time I looked, quaaga and IOS-XE support unicast and multicast SAFI; bird and OpenBGPD only unicast. While bird and OpenBGPD can be "fixed", not having to do so is a plus. The query is driven by the 2 GiB quagga bgpd processes we're currently seeing.

[c-nsp] ASR as BGP Route Server
Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could comment on experiences (production or otherwise) with BGP route server functionality on the ASR1000 series/IOS-XE. Can you offer any comparisons (stability, configuration, table sizes, etc) between it and the open-source implementations (quagga, BIRD, OpenBGPD)? Thanks, Michael ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/

I will add that if you need to do multicast NLRI, then the only option currently available appears to be Quagga.
