        You’re referring to dumb home routers right?

        Because for example OPNsense recommeds at least 8GB of RAM, though the bare minimum is 2GB.
        And even purpose-built enterprise routers are certainly in similar ballpark. BGP will eat that.

        I don’t think I’ve seen one of those dumb ones with nearly that much RAM. Usually they’re like 16MB/32MB. Guess I’ll have to check.

          My Mikrotik router at home (entry level enterprise gear) has 512MB RAM, and it can do most of what those bigger routers can, just a lot fewer connections.
