It doesn't scale. Regardless of Moore's law, there are some
fundamental physical limits that constrain technology.
Once you add that bit of reality to it, the scaling requirement goes
down substantially. Wouldn't you agree?
My feeling is that the question isn't how much memory, but rather how
much CPU and bandwidth is necessary to deal with routing thrash.
Yes, you can aggregate different things to try to reduce the number
of entries, but that would seem to go against the general idea Alexei
was suggesting. I mean, I'm an entity, and it'd be cool to have my
own routed PI address and not have to deal with reconfiguring my
network when I took my laptop from work to home...
