can the memory technology save the routing table size scalability problem?

As we known, the DFZ RIB size expand rapidly. It may be resolved via router architecture improvement, such as adding memory chips or compressing RIB. or via changing routing and addressing scheme, which one will be the long-term essential approach?

If the size of the global routing table is really an important issue, why not start filtering /24 announcements? I have more of a legal right to use my /20 since I pay ARIN $2K/yr for it, vs most /24 owners. Filtering /24s should cut the size of the global routing table back to 1998 levels.

Off your network, your legal rights are pretty limited. I (and I'm sure lots of other admins) block at the /24 boundry. Anything you announce from /25 to /32 will be ignored on my network. Some providers choose to block according to RIR allocation sizes. To me, that's not worth the
