I figure backbone gear should have a lifespan of 5 years minimum,
and that it is typically really bad to push it past about 85-90%.
Using both of those I would assume around 2 routes per ASN, and
probably on the order of 70k ASN's in use in 5 years, so 140,000
route minimum capability.

I like having them both come from the same pool, but I never
understood the need for the network operator to configure partitioning.
It seems like the boxes should be able to adjust the partition
dynamically with an overall fill rate > 95%. I don't want to have
to go back and recompute a partition size every 6 months if the
tables together end up nearly filling memory, or have to maintain
different partitions for core and edge boxes.
Maybe in 1995 I would have accepted manual partitioning, but come on,
memory management has moved on.
