Hi Tony,
The FIB TCAM is already dynamically allocated as of 4.2 (ie, no 
static/fixed allocation, blocks of various width entries grow/shrink 
as necessary). At the control plane, you can control the max prefixes 
for each, which naturally limits the h/w consumption to those numbers as well.

Hope that helps,
Tim
