So, whatever happened to that whole "the internet will catch fire when we get to 280K routing table entries" or whatever it was? :)
But what will happen when we have 4294967295 entries?
Nothing. But when we hit 4294967296....
By that point router vendors will hopefully have moved to 64-bit CPUs. 18446744073709551616 routes will hopefully not happen until after I retire, so you young whippersnappers will be on your own on that one. ;)
