[nsp] How much memory needed on a VIP

[Hyunseog Ryu]

It is really depends on what kind of configuration you are running.
But considering large size of decent IOS size along with microcode - do we 
need to call this "micro"code any more? -,
you may experience memory problem from VIP cards with 64MB or less. 
Even Cisco recommends 128MB or large memory for VIP card CPU memory 
when you are running full BGP routing table or large size of internal routing 
table. 

I think it's cheaper to upgrade memory than having the problem from 
production networks. 

Don't say you only running BGP routing. 
You need to have rooms for microcode, and other features from VIP cards, too.
