How much has the second number changed? Is this the result of worsening aggregation or simply more address space being advertised? Core routers won't even blink at 200k routes. I wonder how many enterprise 3x00/7x00 routers will fall over due to memory issues. Also, as we have learned previously, past routing table growth (especially for a short period) is an extremely poor predictor of future growth. - Dan On 1/7/05 3:02 PM, "Joe Maimon" <jmaimon@ttec.com> wrote:

Analysis Summary ----------------
BGP routing table entries examined: 153319 Prefixes after maximum aggregation: 89967
Should it matter that in six months its gone from 140k to 153k? At this rate it might crack 200k in less than two years.
