I guess the model that comes to mind is something like MAE-West, which

several hundred various BGP sessions, and left the packet shuffling to
hardware that was designed for the purpose.
I don't think the route server can do hundreds of BGP sessions.
I belive the route servers have problems with more than 60 BGP
sessions. The limitation is a function of CPU power, memory, and bus
architecture.
Jeff Haas is the guy to talk to about realistic models for route
servers.
