Juniper JUNOS keeps all routes (static, OSPF, BGP, etc.) in the "route table" in the routing engine (where the protocols run), and exports the best routes to the "forwarding table" in the forwarding engine (where the packets are forwarded). The forwarding table in a router with full Internet BGP routes currently has ~282K routes, while the route table has ~282K times however many full-route peers you have (plus internal routes in both cases). The route table has all the routes (from all sources and peers) known to the router, but routing engine RAM is (relatively) cheap since the RE is basically just a PC running FreeBSD. I'm not sure off the top of my head how much additional RAM is used per full-route peer. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
