Re: OT-How many IPV4 routes Cisco 3900 can handle?

Yea the 2811's are just above linksys in my opinion. They can't even
handle full rate DS3 and cisco doesn't even list their throughput (in
bps) anywhere I can see. I think the 2800/2900 series is just an entry
level box with all the features they could think of adding at the expense
of performance but YMMV. They are pretty stable if you don't exceed their
limitations though.

I've seen 2811 creshing to death when tried to keep it in production with
a
gig of RAM.

not recommended, for production we have standerdised routers according to
the traffic/bandwidth.

Is this 2811 you've running full BGP routes in production? I doubt it.
