Thourough Details of what IP Base services includes

[Hope Network]

I cannot find a complete and thorough listing of what exactly the IP base services set entails for the 3850 series switches.  I'm looking to possibly use them as access switches, but I need to know exactly where my limitations are.  From what I'm reading it looks like I can use them as Stub EIGRP, or OSPF..Is there a max static route limitation?  Max Vlan limitations?

Also, what exactly are the limitations of EIRGP Stub vs full EIRGP?

On Cisco's site I found the following below, but I'm looking for more:

High-Performance IP Routing

The Cisco Express Forwarding hardware routing architecture delivers extremely high-performance IP routing in the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches:

●   IP unicast routing protocols (static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], and RIPv2, RIPng, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP] stub) are supported for small-network routing applications with the IP Base feature set. Limited static routing with the LAN Base feature set. Equal-cost routing facilitates Layer 3 load balancing and redundancy across the stack.

●   Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], EIGRP, Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 [BGPv4], and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System Version 4 [IS-ISv4]) are supported for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs. IPv6 routing (OSPFv3, EIGRPv6) is supported in hardware for maximum performance. OSPF for routed access is included in the IP Base image. The IP Services feature set is required for full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4.

●   Policy-based routing (PBR) allows superior control by facilitating flow redirection regardless of the routing protocol configured. Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)-Lite enables a service provider to support two or more VPNs, with overlapping IP addresses. The IP Services feature set is required.

●   Protocol-independent multicast (PIM) for IP multicast routing is supported, including PIM sparse mode (PIM‑SM), PIM dense mode (PIM-DM), PIM sparse-dense mode, and source-specific multicast (SSM). The IP Services feature set is required.

●   IPv6 addressing is supported on interfaces with appropriate show commands for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Feature set depends on the type of license you are going to purchase.  For example: if you are planning to use the switch as layer-2 on the access layer, than you really don't need to spend the money to purchase IP services license, as that is for advanced features like full OSPF, BGP, VRF, etc...

Have a look at table-2 in this link for comparison between the license levels;

Actually, they will not be used as access switches, but rather, end of line distribution switches that access switches will sit behind. Which leads me to believe IP Base service set should be sufficient, EIGRP stub routing should actually fit our needs quite well now that I've found more information on that.
