[nsp] whats bgp scan all about

[Stephen J. Wilcox]

Hi Ilker,
 I managed to find that too when I changed my search keywords, (bgp scan-time
didnt find anything useful!)

Ok I understand a little more but it doesnt offer suggestion that you can change
anything, heres what my 1 min cpu looks like

100                                                            
 90                                                            
 80                                   *****                    
 70                                   **********               
 60                                   **********               
 50                                   **********               
 40                                   **********     *****     
 30  **********************************************************
 20  **********************************************************
 10  **********************************************************
    0....5....1....1....2....2....3....3....4....4....5....5....
              0    5    0    5    0    5    0    5    0    5    

Altho it doesnt affect traffic it does affect the router response time which
doesnt look good on pings, traceroutes etc. 

Can anything be done, or just buy a bigger router?
