I made sure to include a link to that along with the other details I passed on and I suspect that all the providers from that list (who can offer connectivity in Geneva) will be contacted.

Re: [swinog] Follow Up Full BGP Routing Router Requirments
Patrick, To avoid calculations and approaching your question empirically memory-wise: this is from a C7200 loaded with 2xBGP feeds (IPv4 only, no VPNv4/6 or IPv6) coming from a pair of RRs: xxx-xxx-xxx#sho ip bgp sum [ ... ] BGP using 64846521 total bytes of memory xxx-xxx-xxx#sho ver [ ... ] cisco 7206VXR (NPE-G1) processor (revision B) with 491520K/32768K bytes of memory. xxx-xxx-xxx#sho processes memory sorted Total: 439578720, Used: 250155420, Free: 189423300 PID TTY Allocated FreedHoldingGetbufsRetbufs Process 188 0 3172456404 327505564 162849436 12096 0 BGP Router [ ... ] Essentially the answer is yes - 512MB is enough for your specific scenario. It would leave some spare room for growth of the routing tables; not really for adding a 3rd full BGP feed. Hope this helps. Overrall, good choice the VXR with NPE-400, if fits the pocket.

The 512MB will be enough with correctly choosen IOS (12.2S or 12.4), and without soft-config for two full BGP feeds. As for "little" QoS on NPE400 I'd be very careful to focus on "little" depending on the links bandwidth. -- "Everything will be okay in the end. | Łukasz Bromirski If it's not okay, it's not the end. | http://lukasz.bromirski.net ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
Re: [swinog] Follow Up Full BGP Routing Router Requirments
Hi Bernd My question was, if the memory is enough. I know, that you wrote, that for ddos problem, this solution isn't recommended. But I only want to know, if 512 MB is enough to hold two full routing tables and some prefixes from swiss-ix. The router will only run bgp and some acl. Also, we will implement some QoS.

We now have an offer for an refurbished 7206VXR with NPE-400 and 512 MB Memory. Would that be enough, to hold two full routing table (if needed) and peerings? We think, there are around 300K prefixes around know, so it should be okay? Right? We will install two of them (each one connected to one of the upstream provider). Between both, we will do IBGP. On the router, we just will have BGP, some small ACLs, perhaps some QoS. That's it. The idea behind that solutions is, that if the NPE-400 wouldn't be enough in 1-2 years, we can just exchange the NPE-400 against a NPE-G2. Since the NPE-400 is really cheap, we don't lose too much money, when we will exchange it in 1-2 years. Thanks for any inputs.
