Hi Michael
Sorry, but I miss to mention one important thing, we have currently two 7206VXR/NPE-400. Each of them is connect to one Upstream of our two upstream. Each of the upstreams is sending a full BGP Feed. One router is also connected to the SwissIX for peering.
I hate the feature browser. I doesn't really help to find things. I.e. with the mentioned IOS, I don't find 4-byte AS Number in the feature set. I compared also your suggested version against our currently installed version and if you look at the result, I really cannot say, what we are missing today with our version we have installed. To say it in short, if you know exactly, which feature you are looking for (and you know, how Cisco has named it), then it will help, but if you want to make sure, that you have just all, what you need today to have full ipv6/bgp capabilities, it doesn't really help, because in my case, I don't know exactly, for which of the 30-40 bgp feature and 30-40 ipv6 feature have to look for (which name).
Thanks anyway to pointing to it.
The memory usage on both for the BGP Router Process is about 200-210 MB.
If I understand the EOL information correct, it's just the EOL of the Bundle 7206VXR/NPE-400, which is clear, because today, most people will buy the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, which is mentioned there as recommended upgrade path.
Kind Regards
Patrick

Hy Patrick,
For a Service Provider or Carrier yes. The most importing stuff is in: (BGP/OSPF/HSRP/VRRP/ASN4BYTE/IPV6/ACL/NETFLOW)
check out the feature list: c7200-spservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRE3 -> http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch
GET Memory usage BGP Process: show processes memory | begin BGP Router Get the holding row are in bytes
So if you try to use 2 ipv4 full peerings you router maybe reload cause of memory overflow. Or you optimize the routing tables maybe it holds, One ipv4 full table and one or two ipv6 full tables, that should work quite nicely.
But if you would make it professional you get a little newer system ;)
