Just a word on RAM usage: ASR1002-X is a 64bit platform; if you need the full routing table, than really get 8GB RAM (same is valid for ASR1004+/RP2). ASR1002 (RP1) is a 32bit platform, max RAM is 4GB RAM, which may be enough for the full routing table (because 32bit platforms are more efficient when allocating memory). In fact I have 3x ASR1002/RP1/4GB running the full table in a MPLS VPN here. I'm currently trying to clarify whether the latter is a supported configuration (or if TAC will deny support when I hit the first memory leak).
