% What's the realistic plan to prevent the IPv4 routing table from growing
% to 2^32 route entries?
trolling again? :)
it's about as reasonable as the question about the IPv6 routing table.
as long as the Internet grows, the routing table is going to grow also.
you might be able to slow the rate of growth, but forcing most of the
internet into a tree structure has its own scaling problems.
the only benefit that IPv4 has over IPv6 (relative to routing table
size) is that IPv4 discourages growth of the Internet.
