RE: [nsp] BGP in 6509It should work ok.

Dont run soft reconfig-inbound, Make sure you and your service-provider
run an IOS release that supports route-refresh capability.

I dont recommend running maximum-paths either. (It causes CEF to use more memory)

It's the initial full route table and CEF entries that eat the memory,
Not the additional number of peers/transits you have in my experience.

  We have some clients running redundant 6509's with redundant Sup's/MSFC's each with 128MB and it runs like a dream.  I would recommenc the MSFC-II however because it is upgradeable to 256MB and a faster processor.

  Thanks,

  Hi, 

     Is anybody running BGP in the MSFC of the 65xx 
     with full Internet routes ? 
     How many peers can we expect to put on ? 
     What's the performance like ? 
     
     Thanks 
  Martin
