I understand from an informed source that the market is taking care of that 
issue:

"There are three companies out there building routers which ought to be able
to forward at OC192 speeds and handle a million routes.  If small providers
get /19's and core routers start to fall over, these companies will probably
come to market faster.  Two of the three are staffed by people I'm in awe of
and I therefore expect the products to actually work."
