It's not too far off though. One way of looking at it is, for each
extra bit we allow, we potentially double the table size. So with 500k
routes and a /24 limit now, we might expect 4 million with /27. Not
exactly because it depends strongly on the distribution of prefix
lengths, but probably not a bad guess.
Also there are optimisations that I wonder if the vendors are doing to
preserve TCAM such as aggregating adjacent networks with the same next
hop into the supernet. That would mitigate the impact of wanton
deaggregation at least and the algorithm doesn't look too hard. Do the
big iron vendors do this?
