      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.
