In the end I felt that running in production with the RIB and the FIB perpetually out of sync was too much of a hack, something that I would likely come to regret at a later point in time. That approach never made it out of the lab.
Speak of which, did anyone ever implement FIB compression? I seem to remember the calculations looked really favorable for the leaf node use case (like James') where the router sits at the edge with a small number of more or less equivalent upstream transits. The FIB is the expensive memory. The RIB sits in the cheap part of the hardware. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
