[c-nsp] Appropriate NPE for two full tables and about 40 megabits per second

[Jeff Chan]

What would be an appropriate NPE for use in a 7200 to hold two
full BGP tables (plus a few other sundry routes) and doing about
40 megabits per second of typical ISP type traffic?

On our 7513/RSP4 we have 256 Meg running IOS 12.3(13) mainline
and the two tables and it shows:

>sh proc mem
Total: 215786176, Used: 167955156, Free: 47831020

I assume the NPE does more in memory, so would 256 MB be enough?

TIA for any comments,

Jeff C.
