Once upon a time Phil Taylor shaped the electrons to say...
>Maybe LE should sell their BGP code to Cisco as 'according to LE' they
>can fit the entire table (at it's current size) in a measley 16M.

Actually in about 7MB for one view. 5MB base + 2 MB for the view.
Each additional is another 2MB. We've had *4* full BGP views (that's
about 44K routes a view) into an IRX with 16MB. Now, I don't expect anyone
to actually run *4* lines into one box like that, but if you wanted too...
