Obviously there is a practical limit though I don't believe there is
a hard network limit as there is for BGP. Resource use is not linear
and depends on the number of neighbors you have, the number of routes
and stability. Judicious use of aggregation will help if memory is an
issue.
What do you consider "very large"?
