If it’s 100% for redundancy, why not just ECMP defaults and not take a full table? That will allow you to use a MUCH cheaper router with a much simpler configuration. Owen > On Jun 22, 2016, at 13:04 , David Charlebois wrote: > > Hello > I'm curious about the overall recommendation when sele

Hello I'm curious about the overall recommendation when selecting a small class BGP router for IPv6 (with 1gig ports). We can see the current IPv4 routing table is around 615k routes and the IPv6 routing table is sitting around ~31k routes. In our case, we advertise a single /24 from our head offi
