Hello everyone,
One of our customers constantly having issues with failovers due to routed PNOTE. We noticed that they have around 12k OSPF routes. After the failover we see that the routed daemon on the newly active node already uses 3GB of memory. Here's the output from the currently active node after failover:

At first, we thought that there was some memory leak going on, but there are no coredumps or anything that points to a memory leak. TAC agreed with us on this as well. What I'm wondering is if it's normal when there are 12k OSPF routes resulting in 3GB memory use. Or should we look at some underlying issues that ends up with this symptom?
If this is normal, then how much would route aggregation help us with the situation (before we go for a memory increasing path)?
As always, thank you very much.
Cheers!
