Hi!
Is there a way to reduce bsnmpd's CPU & memory usage
for BGP router using full view?
I do not need to deal with routing table via SNMP.
SNMP is needed to monitor interface byte counters only via mrtg.
bsnmpd grows upto 18Mb for FreeBSD 6.4 and worse,
it hogs CPU while bgpd obtains full view.
Hmm. I just had a look and the version in 6.4 already has the optimized
route table (you may confirm that:
contrib/bsnmp/snmp_mibII/mibII_route.c should include sys/tree.h).
It takes 36 byte per route on a 32-bit machine and should take 52 byte
on a 64-bit one. The only way to reduce memory consumption considerably
that I can see is to use the kernel routing table directly, but this
requires to
implement the GETNEXT operation in kernel.
In any case it should re-read the kernel table only every 10 minutes and
in the mean time monitor the routing socket to update its copy of the
table. If of course someone is doing a lot of updates on
the kernel table it will receive all these changes and apply them to its
copy of the routing table. If the latter is a problem you could disable
the routing socket interface and could just rely on the 10
minute re-reads. Between these re-reads you would not see changes to the
routing table through SNMP.
BTW: how many routes do you have? When I introduced the optimized
routing table I tested with 150k routes which was reported to be
reasonable at that time.
