minimum requirements for a full bgp feed

36xx or 72xx

Old != bad .

All you need is MEMORY = >= 256 Mb.

  Well,

  In my experience it depends on the model of router.  I had a 3640 (granted, it's old) with 128MB that was just fine
until a couple of months ago, now it's not enough.  For one BGP table you will have to have at least 256MB in a 36xx
router.  Our 720xVXR routers currently have 256MB in them as well, but we've already ordered upgrades to 1GB with new
NPE-G1s...

  Hello All,

  If I wish to purchase a Cisco router that handles a full internet BGP feed what are the minimum specs I should be
looking at?
