Routers with more then 512 megs of ram are pretty new for example
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.
Im not talking about commercial routers, no.
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.
