[c-nsp] 512K routes approaching - have you adjusted your tcam settings

[Mack McBride]

As many readers on this list know the routing table is approaching 512K routes.
For some it has already passed this threshold.
For those that aren't familiar with the issues associated with passing this threshold,
I suggest the following two documents:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/117712-problemsolution-cat6500-00.html

Effected devices include 6500s (including sup 2T), 7600s, nexus 7Ks and many devices by other vendors.
This problem will likely impact us in some way over the next month even if we fixed our devices because
We connect to other services that have not prepared.

So be on the lookout for MLSCEF-SP-7-FIB_EXCEPTION messages in your logs.
