One thing I do not recommend is trying to receive but filter down a full table to a 3750G switch.
Hey, the customer was getting an Ethernet handoff and had a spare 3750G-E sitting on a shelf, which could run BGP. I thought I'd give it a try. Disabled soft-reconfig inbound and filtered the incoming table to /12 or shorter which was only about 1500 prefixes IIRC. Worked fine in staging and test, but as soon as we put real production load on it, it started going haywire and crashing. It also depends what other services you have going. In a enterprise BGP Internet edge environment I'm not usually trying to use the routers as NATs, firewalls, VPN terminators, and every other kitchen sink function. So the only real memory consideration is the BGP. If you're using the thing as a veg-o-matic and running 8 VRFs and running RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS in addition to BGP in each one, it may not handle the BGP tables as well...
