I think what he means is that the higher-end, ASIC-based routing, you need to make sure you have aligned the amount of RAM on distributed routing boards with the requirements of the table -- its no longer as simple as upgrading the ram on the main board and you're done. I think the point is that barring platforms that have run out of ASIC space (720-3B, etc) you *still* need to make sure each distributed board in a distributed routing platform have enough capacity. [But they are only storing the FIB, not the entire RIB]. So yes, "512MB or more" is good for safe sleep. At this stage, you might as well max out the ram on a platform that will be in place for 2+ years. IPv6 will help eat up that ram quickly.
