HI,

NPEG2 comes with default RAM of 1GB which is well adequate to hold full internet routes. In our network, NPEG2 are running with 3.5 lakhs of internet routes still around 460MB of  Processor memory free. BGP routes alone hold 41MB of memory ("show ip bgp sum" gives you memory hold by BGP).

If you are opting to receive full internet feed, then select IOS which has BGP-Next Hop Tracking feature which reduces significant load on CPU due to BGP scanner.

HTH..

thanks

Arun
