	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?
