Ran across the same limitation on the 4000/Sup3 and had similar concerns.
In that case (presumably the same as the 6k), the 128k limitation is
derived from the TCAM, and likewise is only addressable w/ future hardware
upgrades.

As already mentioned, the limitation is on FIB entries, not routes, but I
would be curious to know if while doing best-path selection, routes are
aggregated before being entered into the FIB, which would would make the
128k limit much more acceptable still (yeah, still haven't sat down w/ IOS
Architecture)..
