Dear Jasmina27s,

The Cisco 7300 Series is optimized for flexible, feature rich IP/MPLS services at the customer network edge, where service providers and enterprises link together. The Cisco 7300 Series can be used for enterprise campus or Internet gateway applications or be deployed by service providers as a high-end CPE router for managed service offerings. Other applications for the Cisco 7301 include: service provider broadband aggregation and metro Ethernet CPE applications.

Also Cisco 7301 has highest performance single rack unit router with million packets per second processing. With 3 built-in Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (copper or optical) and a single slot.

So never be worry about NAT sessions, Regarding the BGP issue 256Mb RAM is enough to hold full internet routing table and keep other services working fine.

Finally the only point you need to foucs on is the IOS, kindly check the IOS feature set via http://www.cisco.com/go/fn
