Hi Hannu,

Was that the one where MPLS is modified to specify an exit instead of
an exit router and then the RIB and FIB both are split to multiple
routers, the split accomplished by applying short netmasks?

Nuts, I think that's probably a missed strategy. Parallelize RIB
processing, and that's one of at least two variants. The other is
parallel processing of the BGP RIB on a single router which then folds
into a single FIB.

Does anyone object to adding it late as strategy H?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
