You're not the only one... :) However, my complaint is quite
different - my J6350/1G RAM is unable to run full-view :) 
Sessions just drops due to low memory... 

Well, based on others experience I can suggest that it's because
I run lots of 'not-so-standard' stuff, like all my iBGP sessions
configured for 'family inet labeled-unicast resolve-vpn', 'family
inet-vpn' and 'family inet6'... And, anyway, full-view is never
considered something I must run on that router. 

PS: no problems with traffic. Right now it runs ~700Mbit at 50% idle. 
And costs much less than c7301 it replaced :)
