[j-nsp] Full table inside VRF - J Series

[Deon Vermeulen]

Hi Rolf,

Truman is correct.
I just found that the J4350 you are referring to (Just so that the forum knows, Rolf and I work for the same company) has 1Gig RAM installed on it but is already 81% Utilized.

According to Juniper Datasheet (http://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000206-en.pdf) the J4350 and 6350 can only upgrade to max of 2Gig RAM.

The best is to LAB this and then see what the performance is after having a full table in an (internet) VRF.


Kind Regards
