[members-discuss] Discuss Charging Scheme 2010

oh dear, the routing table again...

do you still run on your  cisco 7200 with 32mb ram or what...
get with the program, ours all have 8gb ram and even load the routing
tables in under 15 minutes (half a second to be precise)...

and yes, the original design was ofcourse for everyone thats connected to
the internet to have their own ip space, now that hardware no longer costs
a shit, i dont see any problems with that, if you still run old shit,
upgrade! (you are gonna need it for ipv6 and 32 bit ASNs anyway)

route table size, in my opinion, hasnt been an arguement since the
invention of zebra and hot plug pci cards.
