Hey, we have less than a thousand routes in our IGP. :-)
More seriously, they don't have to face that issue, but 8 MB of
headroom is not very much. Once you get to much less than 3 or 4 MB
things can get interesting due to transients.
(For those buying 32MB routers, just make sure they can be upgraded to
64MB. The day of reckoning for 64MB routers is still a while off.)
