I have some 7507s under my care with RSP4s taking full routes from Sprint and McLeod. We were getting tight on memory so we stopped accepting all /24s except 192.0.0.0/7. The memory usage reported by "sh ip bgp su" dropped from about 57 meg to half of that, but "show proc mem" still appears to be dangerously low - only 2 meg free on one box.
I'm running 12.0.32S1 and the machines have been behaving well. Here is the output from show proc mem with the small ones trimmed. Does IOS keep freed memory in the hands of the pool manager progress instead of returning it to free?
