Feature Navigator is wrong, then. BGP is already available in IPBASE for the ISRs but only in the T train:
See: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/prod_release_note09186a00804a19a2.html#wp1451994 Where it states that: ----- BGP in IP Base BGP is available in the "IP base" software package in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T for Cisco 1841, Cisco 2800 family, and Cisco 3800 family routers. ----- I hope that IPv6 soon becomes part of 'IPBASE' too, if we're ever supposed to actually use it on the Internet :-) My test 1841 with 384M of DRAM took a full BGP table "just for fun" the other week and lived to tell. Mind you I didn't throw too many tricky things at it, but, it certainly stood up fine and functioned reasonably OK for the few hours I had the full table loaded on it.
