Does anyone have information about the maximum number of BGP neighbors a single instance of OpenBGPD could support assuming the following:
1. OpenBGPD would send only "Default Route" to each neighbor 2. Each neighbor would advertise only 1 subnet to OpenBGPD 3. OpenBGPD could run in passive mode for all of the connections 4. OpenBGPD running on new/current/modern fully supported hardware with no other services running. I am looking to scale this configuration to support between 500 - 10,000 peers and I need to know how much hardware I would need to purchase to support this. James D. Reid Spacenet Inc.
