Based on a quick plot graph on the CIDR report, it looks like we are adding=
6,000 prefixes a month, or thereabouts. So platforms that break at 512K di=
e in two months or less? Sup720s may need to be reconfigured/rebooted, etc=
.
Does anyone have doomsday plots of IPv6 prefixes? We are already at somethi=
ng like 20,000 prefixes there, and a surprising number of deaggregates (lik=
e /64s) in the global table. IIRC, a bunch of platforms will fall over at 1=
28K/256K IPv6 prefixes (but sooner, really, because of IPv4 dual stack).
Best,
