First, you can see is it route area limit with:
# vmstat -m | fgrep routetbl\
routetbl 6907 942K 1678K102400K 4870047 0 0
16,32,64,128,256,512
legend is:
# vmstat -m | fgrep HighUse
Type InUse MemUse HighUse Limit Requests Limit Limit Size(s)
On -CURRENT, as I understand there no limit for routetbl zone:
# vmstat -m | fgrep rou
routetbl 87 12K 13K 267490 16,32,64,128,256
# vmstat -m | fgrep MemUse
Type InUse MemUse HighUse Requests Size(s)
> How can I set a higher limit?
for 4.x you can use following define in kernel config:
options VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE="(1)"
# VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE can be set to adjust the auto-tuning factor, which
# typically defaults to 4 (kernel malloc area size is physical memory
# divided by the scale factor).
It works for me (see above)
Or you can use -CURRENT to large routing tables, but not sure that it is
good idea for production routers.
