I was under the impression full Internet route tables required 128 Megs of RAM, with 256 as the target build. The 7206s have up to 512 RAM available in the NPE, as does the Juniper M5 (just to give a few good examples of Internet routers). I have not fitted an Internet router in @ least 6 months, but the last time I looked we were up to 120,000 prefixes on the net. The 3640 can definitely handle the T-1 traffic you're describing, but with BGP as the solution, I think you may want something like a 3660 or 7204. I believe the max upgrade for the 3640 it 128 and the 3660 is 256 (don't quote me :o) Also- the 3660 enters in a little more redundancy, unless you had planned to 3640s.

[7:33639] Hello Everybody, I just want to run this by everyone for their input from experience. Scenario: I'm looking for a Cisco router that will be providing Internet connectivity running BGP and that will be able to handle the capacity of 2 PTP T1's to the Internet. I know minimum RAM will have to be 64mbs for BGP routes. I just want to know what people have tried that does and doesn't work. My choice would be a 3640 for future T1 expandability and/or a HSSI port. Thank you for the input. Scott _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
