[address-policy-wg] the cost of PI space

To get specific, we had a Cisco 7206VXR NPE400 to handle 256k which we bought for around £13k around 6-7 years ago.

Last month we bought a Cisco 7606 with a RSP720 to handle the 1m+ mark. Cost us £10k.

That's my cards on the table.

Is that so?

We paid significantly more for the box that handles 1 million FIB 
entries as opposed to the box that handles 256k entries.
