[c-nsp] ebgp load balancing using maxiumu-paths TCAM impact on Sup720-3BXL?

[Brad Hedlund]

Interesting, I thought it was common for service providers to run iBGP.
At any rate, yes, Enterprise customers typically do not have iBGP running
through their core, just at the Internet and WAN edges, which by the way
happens to be the perfect places to run PfR  :-)
