[c-nsp] GRP vs. PRP-1

Hola,

oh it is! It depends on the number of paths you have. But if you only have
two upstreams or so your GRP-B would be at ~110 MB free today running
12.0(32)S15. I saw one several days ago doing exactly this. It even had
a full IPv6 table.

But you could easily end up with a crashing BGP Process when sorting 
routes, neighbors come up and down or things like this.
