[rrg] BGP scaling limit?

[Tony Li]

Hi Ross,


|There may be many reasons to consider making a major change to the way
|that the Internet does routing and addressing, but the inability to
|build equipment that can handle several million entries is NOT a valid
|reason. 


Please argue on point.

The argument is not about the absolute value of the number of routes
supported.  We can always scale things by throwing more money at gear.

The argument is that the rate of growth exceeds the constant cost curve
delivered by technological improvements, thus resulting in increasing costs
over time.  

Please understand the distinction.

Regards,
Tony
