BGP on Windows Desktop (opens in new tab)

You don't need FIB install for that.

For any amount of reasonable distinction of "servers" and "routers", you should never need a FIB install on a server. There are good reasons to keep these functions separate (most prominently, address ownership/binding issues with services that are frequently not designed to deal with multiple interfaces/route choices.)

NB: this is not about physical devices. VMs/containers on your host are frequently "servers" while the hypervisor is a "router".

To be fair, BGP helps even less with traffic going to the same destination than plain old hash-based link aggregation does :)

The question is if the routing table implementation in Windows (I assume inside the kernel) can handle it.

The question is about the FIB side of the equation. It’s not an anti-windows remark it’s just a question since I’ve never done full tables on Windows and I don’t know it to be a supported use case. The BGP feature in Server versions is intended for cloud gateway not internet. Even the Linux kernel takes some parameter tuning to gracefully receive a full table without complaints. It’s a million routes in systems which typically have less than 10 after all.

Supporting BGP and supporting BGP with a DFZ full table are not the same thing. And achieving a particular packet/line rate in either of those scenarios is yet another.

Maybe check your own knowledge base, background and perspective before calling something shitposting?
