Hi Arie,

Probably...sup2 is kind of old.

So if that is indeed the case and this box has 261k routes while
supporting 192k...what can be done to mitigate it?  I don't believe
the end customer has the budget to upgrade to sup720-3bxl.  It's a
pair of 6506s, each with an upstream provider; each box is taking full
views and they iBGP peer with each other.

Thanks!
