My primary concern is that the current growth is going to outscale the medium sized providers as the one vendor that the above output came from doesn't appear to be providing enough memory in their equipment, or have enough memory options available.
Fortunately, the large ISPs will act as the mine canary for this particular problem. Memory will go up as the big boys start to use their leverage with the vendors. I did some internal presentations on this particular topic at a particularly large ISP.
What would be nice is if someone were to put together an auto-nagger similar to the "your dns server is lame" of the old days messages. Back when the network tables were about 40-45k, I would read the output of "sh ip b" and send messages to people asking them to aggregate, but those days are over... (at least for me..)
The CIDR report does a fairly good job at this. /vijay
