hmm. an important figure in the IETF (who have served as an IESG in
the past) told me that router vendors are telling people rather dreamy
thing - they are OK to handle 1M routing table entries with hardware
forwarding. to hold 1M routing table entries you would need 32M bytes
of memory at least. i have never seen such big fast-path fowarding
silicon.
so i need some fact-checking here - am i telling FUD, or the router
vendors are telling people their pipe dream?
