Thanks for yout input stephen! I will be running BGP for Internet access. I need to route a /24 or /23 public IP address to the network. config for bandwidth would be on one site is 2x1MB link and on another site is 1x1MB and 1x2MB link. both are using Cisco 2851 routers. chris On 9/2/07,

In my experience 256 is the absolute minimum, but if you are planning to receive the entire routing table please get 1GB. BGP is more a function of memory and not link size. CPU will only come into play if you have frequent BGP routing table updates. On 9/6/07, Dracul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hmm I have to express some concern over the summary of responses. The responders dont know much about your implementation, when asked 'will this router run BGP' the answer was yes but that doesnt mean that the router will do its job correctly. What isnt know is what you are trying to acheive

I agree on Mark's assessment for memory upgrade. If you are concerned about cost, you can find third party memory from kingston or some other well-known manufacturers. It is good idea to upgrade memory to max, so you don't have to shutdown the router to upgrade it again. Also, BGP may use lots of

It seems that 2851 is more than enough to route two links at 1 or 2 Mb/s. As Cisco says, 2851 is capable to route at speed of 112 Mb/s, but in real world you should devide this value by 2 at least. As I see this devise has 256 Mb of memory. It is enaugh for default and several specific routes but
