That's because the BGP core was already maxed out. Once it's maxed, more load is still maxed, just now you have longer and longer delays.

Turning up IPv6 with full routes did not seem to change the load at all. I really like the CCR routers.

The contractor is a multivendor shop, with a Cisco preference. We just stayed with the rb1100ahx2 because its what we use throughout the network, we knew it might be underpowered for this role. I assume when we turn up IPV6 it will basically double the demand also with a second stack running?

However, the CCRs can handle it as long as you don’t load them with other stuffs.
