One can build a 4M+ prefix, 300M LPM/sec FIB engine (v4 or v6) using
commercially available FPGA + DDR3.

Regarding RIB processing: I'll accept the argument that rate*state
growth is exceeding Moore's Law.  However, most RPs I've seen are anemic
compared to commodity server hardware (for legitimate reasons).  So
there is plenty of room for improvement here.
