Dear All,

Thanks for the replies but it looks like i have to upgrade the RSP but can
anyone tell me that the limitation is for the routes which will be installed
in forwarding table for. e.g. if i am receiving 3 routing tables so it will
be 3xlimit or limit will only be for what is installed in the forwarding
table.

Regards
