At least we are lucky that ISIS LSPs are produced by some other control
plane not by a silicon chip :)

If we have 1000 of interfaces and all peers *all in the same time* will
send us an LSP of max size of 1492 octets that our control plane buffer RAM
size required to store them would be as huge as 1.5 MB. And that assumes we
did not process any from arrival of the first to the arrival of the last
one.

Thx,
