[c-nsp] BGP full feeds on ASR1k

[Lukas Tribus]

There are a lot of different ASR1k hw configurations out there, you will have to be more specific.


Don't do it with RP1's though.

I have the full-table in a VRF on RP1, not only is there a shortage of RAM that you cannot upgrade (because RP1 is 32bit), the box is also extremely slow to converge. To program the full table into the FIB, the box takes about 30 minutes (while it takes 3-4 minutes on a RP2).

Sometimes you would also see them dropping MP-BGP sessions.


You may have a bit more margin when using the global table, but you definitely don't wanna use RP1 anymore (they are also EOL now).
