Yes ... we will be replacing most 32M routers. With 34k routes
there's ~10M left in a 32M router, but this can turn into a squeeze
when it's sending lots of updates to many peers. I've seen up to
several hundred packets queued for each peer. So, for instance, 400
packets * 1500(?) bytes = 600kbytes per peer. With few peers, no
problem; with more than a dozen, it's getting close to a no-go.
