First paragraph of TFA says Windows Server supports BGP. But hey, I guess you don’t let facts get in the way of some anti-Windows snarky shitposting.

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?

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.
