Just like a 3750 will hold around 11K routes. IPv4, and does so
regardless of where they came from (static, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, RIP).
I have found those boxes to be reliable routers with huge throughput.

The real culprit here is that those boxes do not and will (according
to Cisco) never do BGP+ (IPv6). They do static IPv6.

It's a shame.
