Hi Oliver,
Thanx for clearing this out.

Hi Yasser,
I heard one day from a colleague that max. number of ebgp neighbors
is 50.
It was his way to justify why confederations to be used where as
Route Reflector technique is much simpler.
I didn't have a chance to verify his words though.
What do you think ?
Many customers run routers with many more eBGP sessions than 50. So, in
general, this information is incorrect. If the question is "how many
eBGP sessions can I run on router type xy with zzz MB of memory where
each peer is sending me 100k prefixes before I run out of memory/cpu
resources", the answer could be 50, but it could also be 500. it depends
on many factors...

There is no fixed upper limit. maximum number of peers depends
on
memory/nvram/cpu performance of the box.
