And what is a problem with 8M networks in next 8 years (if we easily handle 200K just now)?Each unit I buy that has to handle 1M routes instead of 256k routes today costs $10-30k or more extra because of this requirement. Yes, it's no technical problem, but it's money out that could be spent on other things.
I don't know for how long you're in the game but if it is more than five years then please plot the cost and capabilities of the routers you bought in that time against the growth of the routing table. I have an authentic 4 digit AS number (easily found using the ASNumber Firefox plugin) and when I look at the plot for the past 9 years I don't see any problem for the future. You either get constantly more capabilities for the same amount on money or you pay less money for the same amount of capabilities. The ISP business is like any other business where you have to keep investing to stay ahead. The other way (used primarily by the RIAA) is trying to fix the legislation around your existing investments and business model. If we all were to stop investing and stay at what we have got now the global economy would implode. -- Andre
