H,

    According to:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1828/products_configuratio
n_guide_chapter09186a00800ca606.html#xtocid1689714

you need at most 600 bytes per session. For a full internet table from 1
AS, I think 128 mb is considered the minimum, although 96 might cut it.
Depending on your peering and how many clients are being firewalled, you
might want 192 - 256 mb total. I'm sure the ISP gurus on this list might
have more input on exact BGP memory requirements though. Just don't
undersize the router, as CBAC can get pretty processor intensive, especially
in the path of a Code Red attack.
