If we are able to provide 1Tbps at a single port in a single data
stream, then for sure we will have the memory.

Otherwise we won't have packet buffers and thus the whole
discussion is senseless.

Today we use DWDM, as we neither have 1 THz optics nor
packet buffers ...

Until then this here:

solves your "problem" which isn't one.

Add a piece of DDRAM or RDRAM and make your table as large
as you like. Spend anyone on this world a PI, it still will work if
build properly ...

Technology is not the PI/PA<200 problem.

The problem is just a "I DO NOT WANT THIS", "I BELIEVE",
"I DON'T LIKE" by certain people. In my personal view the
main reason for this is a "loss of face" conflict by those who
claim we can't build routers which handle large tables.
