Shame on me for believing a salesperson.
Of course in mid-2002 the routing table was about 110000 prefixes compared to the current 160000 and memory is the issue.. both with main memory and cam size. Having said that, a FI couldnt handle it even in 2002.. you'd probably need to go back a few more years to find a point where the FI could take 3 tables. Depending on your needs tho you may want to take a partial table.. Steve
