[c-nsp] 1841 suitable for BGP?

[Tony Varriale]

>From a memory standpoint you will be fine.

But, you may want to check your CPU utilization...ave and peak.  5 full 
tables would crush a 1841's cpu...even 1 would give it a run for it's peak 
money.  Then add in 20mbps of throughput?  Possibly add in any bells and 
whistles?  Assuming we are talking about Cisco's 1841...there is no way.

Just for reference, I have a customer running 3745s up front with 2 full 
ipv4 tables running 60-65% CPU max with QoS for voice and nothing else. 
3745s have about 3-3.5 times the HP as an 1841.

I commented on this list on 8/22 regarding a similiar subject.
