What a wonderful business opportunity, isn't it?

This is something Cisco sales seems to have missed...

(Sorry for the rant.  I still feel that 256 Mb of memory on a line card 
is way overkill, and more reasonable data structures should be able to 
handle 200.000 routes with far less memory footprint - assuming 100 bytes 
per FIB entry, that's just 20 Mbyte... - so this whole issue must be 
somewhat sales-driven)
