[c-nsp] BGP hardware requirements

[Campbell, Alex]

Your feature set (IP Base) does not support BGP.

Also you'll need more than 256MB of RAM to take full tables.  Taking
full tables for 1mbps or 2mbps transits seems like overkill, but this
depends on your application and requirements.

2800s are software based routers that don't have a very powerful CPU, so
processing large amounts of BGP updates may cause them to struggle.

My advice: upgrade to SP Services and take only a default route from
each provider.

Hi All is BGP configuration ok for these scenarios?

1MB and 2MB leased line link
1MB and 1MB leased line link

(also its a v.35 and fastethernet combo)

what would be the best setup? Full routes? Def routes?

Here's the show version of the router I will be using. can it support
BGP?
