What?! I do full tables from multiple peers on a 3845 or 3945 regularly. I've done full tables from 1 iBGP peer and 1 eBGP peer on 2921s quite a number of times too in a simple dual-homed, dual-router design.
I will admit to never having done IPv6 routes in BGP, and the route entries are larger but what's the entire IPv6 table size, 20k prefixes or something? Cisco's recommendation is 512 MB to do full IPv4 tables, though they don't spec how many copies that includes. Soft-config will increase the memory requirement. I've received full routes on a 2621 with 256 of RAM as well but I had to disable soft-reconfig and filter the table down to /15 and shorter prefixes to keep it stable ;-) If you crashed a 3945e with a full route table, you hit a bug. That's all I can fathom. Bob -- Sent from my iPhone, please excuse any typos.
