A very long time ago, I commented on this report hitting 250,000 prefixes. It was a Big F*#@$&! Deal at the time. A quarter million prefixes in the DFZ? Wow???.
Then I did it again at 500,000. People commented that I should have waited for 512,000 - especially since a popular piece of kit was expected to fall over at 512K prefixes. But I said I liked round numbers.
This time I waited for 768,000. (Everyone happy now?)
No, actually! I came on board when there were about 32,000 prefixes and we were panicked about that. "CIDRize or die", I think Sean Doran said. I remember well the memory and cam struggles to keep up with growth. Its phenomenal, yes, but also, "WTF, PEOPLE??? CAN'T ANYONE AGGREGATE ANYMORE???" :) -Wayne --- Wayne Bouchard web@typo.org Network Dude http://www.typo.org/~web/
