Check out "Large-Scale DMVPN" in this link, I think you'll find it
helpful...

Hi,

Sorry for this off topic, but maybe some of you can redirect me to an
useful resource.

I am planning to deploy from scratch a DMVPN setup and want to
understand the limitations regarding the number of tunnels.

In short:

- 500 spokes - Cisco 877, no physical backup circuits
- 2 hubs, daisy chaining. Basically, I want to ensure that a hub is
always available.
- 3-4 Mbps aggregate bandwidth (that's right, each spoke user has only
a terminal emulator, so it's low bandwidth consumption)

I am planning to use Cisco 3845 for the hubs, but as far as I can read
on the Internet, even a Cisco 7200 with NPE-G1 is limited to 350 DMVPN
tunnels?! Is this because of CPU usage when a major re-convergence
occurs or something else relative to EIGRP? I can't imagine using a
larger box only for several megabits of traffic...

Thanks,
