BTW, I thought it was the updates, peerings and flaps that was the true problem, not the absolute number of routing table entries.

I submit that its a combination of all the above, and that the problem grows in scope as each linearly increase both in size and/or frequency. Of course, route-dampening helps on one front, but its non-trivial to code a smaller routing table when the number of routes increase. :-) - paul
