BGP and memory size

Perhaps Cisco is just trying to force us to buy more memory:

ID: 79764
Feature-set: bgp
      Title: Memory Leak in BGP Router process
   Reported: 11.1(7) 11.2(2)
      State: J

  There appears to be a Memory Leak in BGP Router Process.

Notice the State. It is J - which stands for Junked - which means they
will not fix this since it isn't viewed as an important problem.

I hope the smiley face was omitted accidentally!

The bug report was junked (by the way, we don't junk legitimate
bug reports) because the router in question was a 7200 with 32M
of memory taking full routing from several peers. It simply
didn't have enough memory. There was no evidence of a memory leak.
Needless to say, if there had been a leak, it would have
had high priority.

The gent who opened the bug report in the first place was
"unfamiliar" with the environment. :slight_smile:

In the future to avoid misunderstandings, suggest that closed or junked
problems contain a fuller explanation as you stated below.

Agreed, the release notes should have been updated with the
reason the bug was being junked.

Better for the junked bugs to not show up.. I am contacting folks to fix it..
