[c-nsp] 1841 suitable for BGP?

[Jim McBurnett]

For That load I would move to a 3800 series...
I think that is what most on the list have said..

I have 2811 in the lab and I'll play with that soon...

Hi...

Related to this topic.... We have a customer who is lighting up a 2811
currently with 1 full and 1 partial BGP table.  They plan to put 100 meg
of traffic on this device... I don't see it handling it... Comments?

>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.
