I have been toying with the idea of using OpenBGPD because my PoS 3640 route does not have enough RAM to support full routing tables. I am still stuck with the 3640 as the gateway for the 4-bonded-T1s coming into my network, but I would like to put a OpenBSD machine between it and my hardware firewall(s) so that I can get the full routing tables and eventually multi-home with another ISP.
I have read the presentations by Henning Brauer at http://www.openbgpd.org/papers.html; it seems pretty straightforward to set up. I would appreciate any advice or words of wisdom from those people who use OpenBGPD. I plan to use a PIII 1GHz or better with 1 GB of RAM; should be enough for full routing tables and enough room for routing table expansion as the Internet grows.
