Hi Bernd
My question was, if the memory is enough. I know, that you wrote, that for ddos problem, this solution isn't recommended. But I only want to know, if 512 MB is enough to hold two full routing tables and some prefixes from swiss-ix. The router will only run bgp and some acl. Also, we will implement some QoS.
Kind Regards

look for my mails - i would not recommend this solution -
but of course it depends on your bandwith needs - for very low bandwith and no chance to hold a ddos you can go with this solution - no problem

Hi
As allready requested (see our post from 17.09.), we are looking for a solutions, which will bring us the possibility to be multi homed and get full routing table from two isp and peerings to an exchange point.
We now have an offer for an refurbished 7206VXR with NPE-400 and 512 MB Memory. Would that be enough, to hold two full routing table (if needed) and peerings? We think, there are around 300K prefixes around know, so it should be okay? Right?
We will install two of them (each one connected to one of the upstream provider). Between both, we will do IBGP. On the router, we just will have BGP, some small ACLs, perhaps some QoS. That's it.
The idea behind that solutions is, that if the NPE-400 wouldn't be enough in 1-2 years, we can just exchange the NPE-400 against a NPE-G2. Since the NPE-400 is really cheap, we don't lose too much money, when we will exchange it in 1-2 years.
Thanks for any inputs.
Kind Regards
Patrick Studer
