I'm told YFRV have indicated we're currently at 10% what routers  
today can handle and by the time we see the shattering of legacy  
space into the routing system, the limits will be much higher.   
Plenty o' room...

NOTE: I do not believe this, however the people paying the bills will  
use arguments along these lines in CEO and board room discussions and  
guess where network operators' input will land?

Anyhow, there won't be an explosion.  As Randy points out elsewhere,  
routing table growth is boiling the frog. See http://en.wikipedia.org/ 
wiki/Boiling_frog or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 
Tragedy_of_the_commons (Wikipedia is great! :-)).
