hi,
i just recently enabled IPv6 AF on our internet edge router and now stacked with IPv4.
my question is, how to check the TOTAL BGP route/prefix size in bytes consumed on the router by both IPv4 and IPv6 AF?
also anyone have an idea or could share the current FULL IPv6 BGP prefixes and size (in bytes)?
my google searched there's a few commands to use, but not sure which one to refer to so i could monitor the router's memory/performance.

below are some snippets from my router:
