I think David's point is that on a dual stacked box, TCAM is shared
between ipv4 and ipv6. So while a current generation router will run a
full ipv6 table for many years to come if it's only running ipv4, for
dual-stacked boxes, you have to deal with both an ipv4 table and perhaps a
sudden ipv6 table growth spurt, both competing for the samel limited resource.
