"don't"

On our remaining Sup720-XLs, we heavily filter the global BGP table - 
namely, we do not permit /23s or more specific from /8s allocated to other 
regions (APNIC, ARIN).  That saves about 120.000 prefixes - which enables
the box to handle the rest mostly fine.

(We have a default route pointing to our upstreams to cover small routes 
that have no covering aggregate - sucks, but there's no budget to pay for
all-ASR9k right away, and unstable 6500s suck more)
