Hi,
we have a pair of ASR-1001 taking a full bgp feed ipv4 and ipv6 from our upstream. We will have a second and third full feed soon and are quite a bit surprised by the memory usage of the first full feed.
Router-1#show memory
Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b)
Processor 7FC5CB741010 1235972656 884561540 351411116 350518960 350730684
lsmpi_io 7FC5CAEE61A8 6295128 6294212 916 916 916
I doubt we will fit a further 2 full feeds into that remaining 350 MB.
An old 2821 only used up 300 MB for one and a half full feeds. This box seems quite thirsty.
The other router that is currently idle and not yet in the iBGP mesh already has on offset of 380MB.

show versions shows this beast has 4GB memory of which the IOS process seems to use 1G

cisco ASR1001 (1RU) processor with 1207124K/6147K bytes of memory.
9 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
32768K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
4194304K bytes of physical memory.
7782399K bytes of eUSB flash at bootflash:.
I am currently not sure if I can assign the IOS process more memory somewhere or how I could check how the available memory is distributed to the subsystems or even if I have dual IOS processes running.
Any pointers ???
Greetings
Christian
