The number (24 000) is probably the maximum number of TCAM entries
which can be used by the routing engine.  IIRC, the full BGP table
collapses to a few thousand TCAM/CEF entries; you don't route every
subnet to a different interface than its supernet.

Anyway, I doubt that the BGP data will fit into those 64 MB together
with the rest of the system.
