Hi all,

More bgpd problems last night :( This happened last night on two of our
routers. One running an old version of OpenBSD (4.3) and one running
5.1. Is there anyone out there actually using bpgd in production? How
do you deal with it quitting everytime something unexpected happens on
the network?

The first message below seems to indicate unable to allocate
memory. I'm running these boxes pretty much stock having not tuned any
parameters at all. Both are just running routing daemons (bgpd, ospf)
and the 4.3 box is running OpenVPN. There are no applications running
and both boxes have plenty of RAM (4GB) and not using any swap or
anything.

Is there something I should look at tuning in terms
of memory allocation in order to stop this happening?

OpenBSD 4.3/amd64:

May 29 05:53:43 firewall1 bgpd[5090]: imsg_create: buf_open: Cannot
allocate memory
May 29 05:53:43 firewall1 bgpd[5090]: fatal in RDE: imsg_compose
error: Cannot allocate memory
May 29 05:53:44 firewall1 bgpd[27053]: Lost child: route decision
engine exited
May 29 05:53:44 firewall1 bgpd[15204]: fatal in SE: pipe write error:
Broken pipe

OpenBSD 5.1/amd64:

May 29 05:55:09 fw1 bgpd[21316]: Lost child: route decision engine
terminated; signal 11
May 29 05:55:09 fw1 bgpd[21459]: fatal in SE: pipe write error: Broken
pipe


Thanks
