[c-nsp] 3825 as bgp router?

[Scott Brown]

Mea culpa - all my info was from a CISCO class I took earlier this year
where the instructor was telling me that the 38xx series of routers couldn't
handle a serious enterprise level load of traffic especially with a of VoIP
and data traffic running across the same pipe. I personally haven't touched
one of these ISR routers, but I was trusting the teacher a wee bit :-/

  I have a 3845 running full table sessions with 2 peers on a 100 mbps
transit connection. It cooks along at 90 Mbps with no issues. Generally
it never breaches the 10% CPU mark. Memory usage is sitting steadily at
208 MB. 

  It has been a good little router, and we've definitely gotten a lot of
bang for our buck.
