[Xorp-users] Is there any ways to start xorp other than using xorp_rtrmgr

[naresh raga]

Hi friends,
     I have observed while starting xorp using ./xorp_rtrmgr with a small boot file having interfaces and fea enabled is more CPU resource intensive.Using top I have observed CPU and memory  requirements (peak values) as:
Process          %CPU      %MEM
xorp_rtrmgr       6               0.3
xorp_fea            4               0.2

These values are for xorp-1.7 built with optimization(compiler flags used-Os ) and the build size in /usr/local/xorp is around 21MB after stripping the binaries.
      My systems had two CPUs each of 3.00GHz and RAM is 1.9GB.So on calculating 10% of 6.00GHz=600MHz (nearly) is the CPU needed to start xorp with such a small configuration.
      If more modules like rip,bgp,ospf would have been configured,more would be the requirement of CPU.I am working to port xorp onto an embedded platform(arm-based).So I need  ways of starting xorp on less resource platform.It seems xorp_rtrmgr is more resource-intensive.Is there any ways to start xorp other than using xorp_rtrmgr.

Also If someone has already ported xorp onto an embedded platform,Can you suggest the ideal CPU and RAM requirements for XORP to work.


Thanks,
T Raga Naresh.
