I guess the memory hasn't been released by the BGP process, right?

Please consider resetting the peers (clear ip bgp *). oli _______________________________________________ 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/
