[c-nsp] BGP hardware requirements

[Dracul]

Hello,

THanks for the inputs so in summary:

1. My 2851 is already ok for 2x 2MB link BGP
2. I need to upgrade my 256MB memory to 512 MB
3. I need to replace my IOS to support a higher feature of BGP
possibly this:
ADVANCED ENTERPRISE
SERVICESc2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-16.bin<http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch?act=feature&imageid=840591&platformFamily=268&featureSet=6&featureSelected=93,74,89,102&availSoftwares=IOS>

are my assumptions correct? By the way there would be no issues if the links
are transported through v.35
or fastethernet from the ISPs right?

Thanks!
chris
