[nsp] Is 128MB enough for a full BGP table on a 7206VXR?

Barely. Looking at a 7206 that has one full and one
partial BGP feed, cef but no netflow or accounting, I
see 114mb used, running 12.2(15)something-or-other.

With a carefully selected release from somewhere
around 12.0(5) or so, you might be able to get away
with it. but if you can scrounge the extra money, I
would really recommend 256mb.
