They are obviously not running full tables on their 3640. I'd imagine a raspberry pi would have more BGP capability and throughput than a 3640, though I don't recommend doing that even as a joke. But an ERR would be fine if they're expecting nothing more than a slightly faster 3640 with maybe

Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter Lite is equipped with 512 MiB of DDR2 memory, of which after startup, roughly 491 MiB can be utilized. 119 MiB of the remaining memory are allocated by the base of the router already, which leaves you with a remainder of 372 MiB memory. Memory usage depends on the

I will note that Comcast will do BGP on their enterprise fiber circuits. Comcast DIA (which they call EDI) comes in increments of 1M up to 10M, then 10M up to 100M, etc. So you could get 10M or 80M (not sure if "10MB/Sec" means 10Mbps or 80MBps) and do BGP over that, if it's available. RCN is

I’ve had BGP from comcast business in River North before, not sure what their minimum bandwidth is for that. Tunnels may be simplest at that bandwidth level. > On Sep 3, 2019, at 12:52 PM, Florian Brandstetter via NANOG > wrote: > > Might be worth to consider running a software router on that

Might be worth to consider running a software router on that scale with perhaps some cheap quad-port GbE PCIe NICs. BIRD would be the BGP daemon to go, or FRRouting if you want an integrated shell. Hardware routers for 100 Mbit egress seem a bit overpowered, however, as scaleable you want to

I have a need for a BGP enabled connection in the River North section of Chicago. We have a small number of IP blocks that we want to use. Currently, we have some equipment at 350 E. Cermak (Steadfast Networks) and are looking at downsizing and bringing stuff in-house. Our bandwidth
