Well, it depends on what you want to use LDAP for.

For example, take a naive approach: your router crashes. It comes back up. It receives 130,000 prefixes that it needs to validate. For each prefix, your router must do an LDAP query.

Can you be more specific as to why you think that LDAP is not
suitable?

Relatively heavyweight connections and no caching.
