Re: routing table go boom

[Doug Barton <dougb () dougbarton us>]

With all due respect to the emperors involved, the complete "zomg, don't 
grow the routing table!" argument includes the seldom-stated tagline, 
"....faster than I want to replace my existing hardware." IOW, it's 
never been about the tech, or "the good of the network," it's about the 
capex.

I'm not saying that isn't a noble, useful goal, especially when you 
consider the SMBs who are going to be entering the multihoming market 
soon as David pointed out, and also (and perhaps more importantly) the 
folks in the emerging economies that are still ramping up their Internet 
access. But focusing on the technological problems is a waste of time 
since they all have technological solutions.
