Re: "routing table slots" and the real problem

processors can't be relied upon to solve the problem.  
the computational cost grows faster than Moore's law

managing the complexity of the graph is the only alternative,
and generally the only way to manage tne complexity is through
aggregation.  at the moment, the only way to manage aggregation
is through address assignment.  whether we have other alternatives
over time is an open question.
