As i said before, the future is coming just now. There must be ways to
increase CPU caches and memories of routers.

You continue to misstate and misunderstand the issue. I would suggest you
refresh your understanding of the differences between the RIB and FIB in
network devices.

It is also about wholesale. When you buy cheaper routers, powerful routers
stay expensive.

But when everybody upgrades, memory and processor unit prices decrease..
Vendors gain from demand.

called a TCAM that's very fast but both expensive and power hungry, so
generally not sized for huge numbers of tiny routes.
