I don't mean to beat a dead horse by bringing up an old subject, but 
I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me. According to what Tim and many
others have said, the realistic route limit is 239k. However, according
to the following Sup720 data sheet, it says that the 3BXL supports
up to 1,000,000 IPv4 routes:

Is this something that's changed in the last 3 months?
