Just curious. Has this assertion ever been tested, examined, modeled?
There are two logical components to this statement that I am interested in verifying: 
A small allocation: 
a) "consumes the same amount of resources" 
b) on "everyone else's" BGP router

The latter is an especially strong claim.
