Dave,

We're not using router reflectors, rather we're using a full iBGP mesh.
I'll ask Damon go set up an account on monon for you with TACACS privileges
to show config on the routers.

Subject: one note on 12.0S(2.7) for Abilene



        All,

        I'm interested in your BGP configuration on the GSRs. In
        particular, I'd like to know if you're using route reflection,
        and if so, how many clients per RR. There is a memory 
        fragmentation problem that I'd like to avoid. If you could 
        send me one of your configs I would appreciate it. Also, 
        how much memory do you on the GRPs?
        
        The bug is fixed by 

        CSCdk81339: Chunk manager:Make chunk blocks reusable to reduce
                    mem. frag 
        CSCdk52946: BGP: attribute restructure to reduce memory
                    fragmentation 

        The first one of these is in the system code (to make malloc 
        be more effecient for the chunk manager), and the second uses
        the new malloc.

        While these fixes have undergone extensive testing, they have
        not yet been integrated into 12.0S yet. In any event, you
        might never run into this, but I just want to avoid it if we
        can. 

        Thanks,

        Dave
