After 20 minutes or so, when the routing table is just about done downloading (75K routes nowadays), the system begins to complain about "no more buffers." A few minutes after that, the system starts complaining "arpresolve: cannot allocate llinfo". In order to attempt to fix this, I recompiled the kernel with MAXUSERS 256 and NMBCLUSTERS 4096. (The machine has 128 MB of RAM). That didn't help. I looked on newsgroups, and there were some other people reporting this problem, but no solutions. I am wondering if there is some kind of hard limit to the size of the routing table or something like that. >How-To-Repeat: Setup a machine, compile and install gated. (www.gated.org). Set the gated configuration to import all routes... point it at your upstream (tell them to let you download all routes). Run gated. Wait 20 minutes. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
