> I am certainly sure I do not know your network topology - but having 10,000
routes going to a firewall seems like you may want another pair or more of
eyes to check out that route summarization problem.  Ditto with the guy with
8,000+ routes.


I have multiple 10GB, Nexus 7Ks, Redundant Gig Internet (/16), I2
connectivity and I don't think we have more than 100 or 200 routes present.
