As long as we keep using IPv4, we are mostly stopping at /24 and must stop at /32.

But, see the subject. It's well above moore.

For high speed (fixed time) routed look up with 1M entries, SRAM is cheap at /24 and is fine at /32 but expensive and power consuming TCAM is required at /48.

That's one reason why we should stay away from IPv6.

What prevents you from using http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v1/n6/full/ncomms1063.html with IPv6?
