[snip] 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.
