      Wondering if anyone out here has seen increased memory pressure on an SG1100
      MIM is running and that does seem to have some impact on a tiny system like this but I'm curious about the overall experience others have had.

      My graph below shows a noticeable decrease in available memory over the last two days. Normally, I'm okay with RAM being used, as that is the point in any modern OS, but on a very resource-constrained unit like the 1100, this is very worrisome.
      I am running pfblocker and do not have DNSBL enabled. Just IP block list and less than 5k IPs.
      Additionally, i do have FRR running with only 5 prefixes in the route table.

      Over the last 30 days , an upgrade and reboot , normalization, you can see in this graph towards the right that things seem to be worse.

        Hmm, I would only really consider it a problem if it were continually losing memory. Like it has a leak. Otherwise unused memory is doing nothing useful. It should be freed if required by something else.

        Here I see:

            You probably have some pkgs installed with lists etc?

            You're still at >20% unused RAM though.
