Vince Fuller has done some projections on what the the routing tables will be like in the near future which would be useful for you, check out http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-53/presentations/rou-vf-sca.pdf If you are looking at doing simulations of what it could be like, use similar figures to his for IPv4 & IPv6 routing table size.
