Sure, the BI will run several full tables with no problem.

But the problem I (and a customer recently with his own BI) ran into, aside from a very small CAM table running full very quickly, was unexplainable packetloss at 200Mbit+ traffic levels. It was a very minor amount of loss (0.1% to 0.5%), but noticable enough to make it unusable for UDP audio streams.

And I've seen this only on BI's doing BGP, I have several BI's doing basic L3 (gateway for vlans, ospf, etc) with no problems.

So if you can avoid it, don't use the Jetcores for BGP related work.

Hi all--

I'm trying to figure out if I can run 500k - 600k routes of a full BGP table on a standard J-BxGMR4 (512MB) with a BigIron 4000 chassis. At this point I'm thinking no, but is anyone running anything like it?

And looking at Foundry/Brocade's site doesn't give me much information, but does anyone have the specs on how much traffic a B4000 can handle at one time?

Any direction on how to find this info without bothering you again would be great, too. Sorry to be a bother.

And thanks!
