Hey All,

Does anyone have some rough figures for how much RAM Quagga uses to keep the routing tables for WIX or APE in memory?

On the route servers themselves, about 13MB on WIX and about 7MB on APE for the bgpd processes, the zebrad processes take about another 1.5MB. Routers attached to the exchange appear to use about 3MB for bgpd. In other words, it's not exactly taxing - you're more likely to want to size your box based on the throughput you're after, rather than the load of route handling. Cheers Si
