Does someone have numbers on the amount of IPv6 prefixes that currently
deployed Cisco and Juniper routers can handle?
I know that the Cisco Sup720/3B can handle 256k routes for IPv4+IPv6
*together* (TCAM space), which limits the "unlimited growth of IPv6"
a bit (but which can be fixed by upgrading to 3BXL).
Please let's not discuss "how stupid router vendors are" now, just
collect facts - there must be some upper limits in the hardware for
GSR line cards and Juniper IPII-ASICs as well.
