A two year old test with XR's doing 3 million routes. <br>

1 million routes advertised on lower end RSP720. (Somehow, with 4 GB
route processor memory, I think that's conservative).<br>
<br>
And it's not like bigger carriers don't have Ixia's or Spirent boxes
lying around to verify this, or wouldn't make the vendor rep bring one
in to prove it.<br>
