This is a very experimental draft that still may be of interest to
people who are interested not just that the BGP table is growing, but
why it is growing. It's coauthored by Elwyn Davies of Nortel (UK)
and Loa Andersson of Utfors (Sweden).

Title : An Experimental Methodology for Analysis of Growth in
the Global Routing Table
Author(s) : H. Berkowitz et al.
Filename : draft-berkowitz-tblgrow-00.txt
Pages : 5

Measurements [3,4,5] have shown that the rate of growth of routes and
route instances in the default-free table have resumed exponential
growth, which had slowed to linear growth after the introduction of
CIDR [7]. This memorandum explores some analytical methods,
admittedly heuristic in most cases, to understand why growth is
faster than the simple rate of allocation. When accelerated growth
can be attributed to operational practices or poor understanding, it
may be possible to propose approaches to reducing the rate of table
explosion without reducing the services delivered to end users.
