N.B. For the record, don't shoot the messenger, I had nothing to do with these tests, I
just became aware of them via the BIRD list. I am particularly interested in the OpenBSD
community comments given one person on the BIRD list had this to say of OpenBGPD:
"OpenBGPd has always been a dog.".
I'm no expert at all, but I'd imagine that OpenBGPD performs at least
somewhat differently on Linux, which seems to be what the author used in
the tests. My personal BGP server runs OpenBSD on a 512MB VPS, using
about 150MB of RAM with full IPv6 table and routing my traffic just
fine, though I can imagine the tables turning very quickly with lots of
neighbors, as the benchmark shows. I could try replicating their setup
on an OpenBSD system, but I don't have good enough hardware at hand at
the moment.
