I assume you are saying this because your day-to-day usecase is a StayRTR with lots of client connections.

Can you give a ballpark on how many connections you are thinking?

My day job (RIPE NCC) does not involve running an rtr daemon. However we do run rtrmon for end to end monitoring between CA systemen and what is visible for RPs.

I have seen a screenshot of a dashboard of a rtr server with ~500 clients. However I can imagine those parties would not like to comment in public about the size of their networks.
