Yep, the great thing about IOS without 'commit confirmed' is when you remove
a bgp filter, it runs out of memory, reboots, brings up peers, runs out of
memory, reboots... meanwhile if you're trying to get in over a public
interface you're cursing John Chamber's very existence. Not that that's ever
happened to me of course...

I don't think this is the case, on IOS at least. Some years ago I was
rocking some 7500s with $not_enough ram for multiple full tables, but
with a prefix list to accept le 23  they worked fine.


On JunOS, I know I can view pre and post filtered bgp updates ingress and
egress. I seem to recall seeing similar functionality introduced into IOS,
though I'm less certain. It's still always advisable to be careful. :)
