Hi, We've been running a small AS with BIRD on Linux(debian) without any issue in two years of production on two software routers so far: http://bird.network.cz/ It uses less than 100MB of RAM per IPv4 DFZ, we run around 100 BGP sessions in 350M of RAM (process virtual). Looking glass developper by our members: http://lg.tetaneutral.net/prefix_bgpmap/gw+h3/ipv4?q=meh.net.nz http://lg.tetaneutral.net/summary/gw+h3/ipv4 Sincerely, Laurent http://tetaneutral.net http://as197422.peeringdb.com
