Just to give an idea. I'm using multiple GNU/Linux routers with an Intel
Atom C2758 (8-core SoC) and 8 GiB RAM to handle ~2k routes with Bird.
Bird itself doesn't make a dent in CPU. These are building access
routers; traffic is around 80 Mbit/s each (~ 6 kpps), with connection
tracking and NAT. Us
Thanks everyone for your answers, that's very helpful to me :-)

Clément,
Let's just clear one thing up straight away -- BIRD is a daemon for routing
protocols, no
Hello Clement, even the most entry level server these days will meet your
requirements. Bird is very lean, a system with 2 cores and 4 gbps of ram is
plenty for what you described.
The only thing I would suggest is you look at Intel NIC’s like the i340 or i350
which will help a great deal if y
Hi,
Here is my x86 router configuration:
OS: FreeBSD 10.2 64bit
Bird 1.6.3
CPU Intel E5-2609v2
Memory 16GB
Here is top result for bird:
27 processes: 1 running, 26 sleeping
CPU: 13.0% user, 0.0% nice, 1.8% system, 1.7% interrupt, 83.6% idle
Mem: 504M Active, 112M Inact, 875M Wired, 518M Buf
Hello, I am considering the setup of BIRD as a router to handle our internet
traffic. One information I fail to find is hardware requirements. My use
case is as follows :
- Two transit providers, each sending a full internet view
- Two peerings on an IXP (less than 100k routes e
