[c-nsp] BGP dram confusion

[Erik Klaassen]

Yes its a sub720-3bxl with IOS 12.2SRE. We are not using soft-reconfig. 
Why is the "sh bgp all sum" around 300MB and the sh prec mem shows bgp is using 90%, or around 800MB. 

I just applied a filter for a default route only on one of the transits. 
I can see i receive only 1 route but the mem usage is the same! 

Thanks, Erik

correct - this is a long time coming for the sup720/rsp720 platform. If 
you have soft-reconfiguration inbound, you'll need to drop that from the 
configuration. 

If you can downgrade to IOS 12.2SR, that will also help RAM usage. 

If this is a sup720-3bxl, you're stuck with 1G RAM and you cannot upgrade. 

If it's an rsp720, you can upgrade the RAM on the card with p/n 
MEM-RSP720-2G or a third party equivalent.
