i am not saying bgp and forwarding can deal with growth forever, but
o over my career, the death of spinning oxide has always been two
years away. yet the hardwhere jocks have continued to pull the
rabbit out of the hat. perhaps, many decades later, ssds have
finally caught up and physical limits are finally approaching.
o a dozen or so years ago, i shared an nsf grant with lixia, dan, and
others called "better bgp," based on the assumption that bgp was not
gonna scale. i took the contrary position, we actually had no clear
measurement showing it was not going to scale. out of this came
beacons, 'happy packets', etc.
so i think we need some measurements of the sky before we can judge the
rate of its descent.
