[c-nsp] max routes on 76K platform

[Vijay Ramcharan]

I've spent a bit of time trying to find out how to calculate the maximum
number of BGP routes for SUP2/MSFC2 on a 7603 with 512MB of RAM. This
router has 2 EBGP peers and 3 iBGP peers. 
I've had no luck. 
 
Can someone indicate how this is done or possibly point me to some links
which explain what has to be done to figure this out? 
 
Thanks

As we inch closer and closer to the Sup2 no longer being able to handle 
"full routes", I'm wondering, is there or will there be an upgrade path 
for 6500/7600's other than Sup720-3bxl (or whatever comes after that) to

support >256K routes?  It seems like with the right PFC, the Sup32
would, 
but from what I've read, the Sup32 only has a PFC3B (not the 3BXL),
which 
I suspect still limits it to <256K routes.
