what is gonna kill small isps, as i have said before, is the cost of a
dfz router that can load and hold the fragmented routing table we are
going to see due to v4 and v6 nat frag.  as i said, it will be like the
small telcos having to buy $10m switches to stay in the ss7 game.

and if you believe the vendor marketing folk (who wear engineer clothes)
that their routers can operationally handle 2m routes today, then i have
this bridge you can buy real cheap.
