Am I correct in saying that the 3BXL is not hindered by the 239K ceiling? According to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2797/products_data_shee t09186a0080159856.html it appears that the 3BXL is more than ready for projected increases in the size of the full BGP table.

Well plenty of people have reached the untuned magic number already. Depending on software version/features used/network design, you'll either get software switching of, or unreachability to prefixes that don't fit into the TCAM. Amusingly you software switch / lose "big" prefixes first. So networks that just announce a /8 disappear, but those announcing every /24.. FINE. http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/2007-June/041598.html Shows the impact when full BGP table met default 192k tcam limit. Looks like anything /8 - /14 would have gone a bit wrong unless covered by a more specific. Oh the irony. Double irony was that it was the fact that there *was* a default route that triggered the bug (if I'm remembering correctly, which I might not). -- Euan Galloway _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
