Mmmh, good point.  Can't have enough RAM on a RR.

I wonder whether anyone is running RRs on "off-the-shelf" PCs with
BIRD today...  reasonable mid-range server, quad-core CPU, 16G RAM,
Linux or FreeBSD on it...  should be cheaper than just the route-server-
license for JunOS, let alone the hardware needed.

(As Bird seems to be the #1 choice for route-servers at IXPs, which uses
different protocol families but has much more demanding requirements than
"just a RR").
