Perhaps they have systems which can cope with 1M ipv6 entries, or perhaps
not. I'd suggest that right now and for the forseeable future, this is
irrelevant because:
- the number of prefixes that routers can handle increases in time
- I currently see ~820 ipv6 prefixes. That is 3 orders of base10
magnitude less than 1M. That means a lot of room for growth.
