[09:12:58] <topranks>	 Southparkfan:  Nice!  Yeah it's a good project alright, I've not moved my work from my desktop here to the VPS yet but may have some time to tackle that today :)
[12:12:07] <Southparkfan>	 topranks: what does the ram usage at your desktop look like? running 'just' a simple topology with three SR Linux nodes (two leafs, one spine) is barely possible here, ram-wise
[12:13:52] <topranks>	 really?  My RAM usage is high, approx 12GB but that was running about 60 JunOS containers 
[12:14:01] <topranks>	 So the usage per node is not that high 
[12:14:04] <Southparkfan>	  a 16 GB quota in wmcs to run a hundred nodes is very optimistic :P
[12:14:19] <topranks>	 I've not played with the SR Linux image however
[12:14:49] <topranks>	 well it's a rough estimate, didn't want to be too greedy day 1!
[12:15:53] <topranks>	 You could also see how you get on with another image
[12:16:09] <topranks>	 Like I run many plain debian containers
[12:16:10] <Southparkfan>	 are these containers lighter versions? I tried vMXs in GNS3 (lots of fun with VCPs and VFPs), that didn't work well unfortunately
[12:16:16] <topranks>	       image: debian:latest
[12:16:16] <topranks>	       kind: linux
[12:16:49] <topranks>	 vMX is a virtual-machine, it implements it's own net drivers everything, very heavy beast
[12:16:59] <topranks>	 I can help you get it working in GNS3 if you want, but it's not lightweight
[12:17:26] <topranks>	 cRPD is just a Linux container, based on a Ubuntu image and then it runs the Juniper crpd daemon inside it
[12:17:34] <Southparkfan>	 I presume those debian containers are very efficient, compared to others (although vyos containers run fine too)
[12:17:41] <topranks>	 So much more lightweight, 60 vMX's would take like a TB of RAM or something 
[12:18:14] <topranks>	 yeah, like it's just a container so not much overhead on top of the OS, it really depends what runs inside that container
[12:18:27] <topranks>	 But yeah, when you run the debian one there are no extra processes that run, so it's very lightweight
[12:18:49] <topranks>	 Running the cRPD one each node runs the Juniper crpd binary so it's a bit more heavy, but still nothing like the vMX or other VM appliances 
[12:20:05] <Southparkfan>	 ah, just learned about cRPD :-)
[12:23:44] <Southparkfan>	 I will take a look at cRPD, thanks
