Whether the routing convergence will continue to degrade as the number of prefixes scale depends on the scalability of the control plane CPU/memory.
Correct. We've shown that the growth in the speed of normal DRAM is slower than the prefix growth rate. Thus, simply the act of writing a list of all prefixes to memory (e.g., at initial convergence time) is taking longer each year.
