2/ I saw article. "a full BGP feed is about 110,000
routes."

we're at 140..150k these days.


Do you have experience that AMD64 with 3G memory in
Unix Box can handle it?
If you'll look a what the route-views boxes do, a bigish pc based server can take 45 full feeds with minimal performance implications. They're dual p4 boxes with 2GB of ram. They do not of course make forwarding decisions based on that information.

I've done it on a soekris box, that is, a 266MHz Geode CPU with
128MB RAM, using OpenBSD and OpenBGPD...
