Trying to figure out if a 3660 is sufficient to run BGP. It currently
has only 64MB of memory, but will be upgraded to 256 or 512. I have two
different responses - one saying that BGP only requires a large amount
of memory for the full route table and a 3660 will work. Another one
saying that a 3660 will not be able to handle it because of an
underpowered processor, even with 512MB of memory. 
The connection will be Gigabit rate-limited to 100Mb (for now). Should I
look at a 7200 or 7300 model or will the 3660 be ok for now? Looking for
experiences with what worked for you (or didn't work).  Thanks,


- Gerno
