Problem Statement Fundamental: concern in Internet community
about growth of Internet routing table.• “Up and to the right”• We must have an answer now and in near future!• Focused, immediate concern => router implementation

Review: What’s a routing table? RIB vs. FIB RIB (Routing Information Base)
• Various names – “BGP table”, “Adj-RIB-In”, “Loc-RIB”, etc. In combination, these are the RIB.
• Stores all routes/paths – large storage demands• Control plane only – just on control processor• Modest performance demands (compared to FIB)• Scales like general-purpose computers

Different ways to be fast• Just go fast (exceedingly kewl silicon)• Parallelism (go less fast, but in parallel)• Computing industry is choosing parallelism
Just one way to be big: lots of memory• SRAM, TCAM is exotic, expensive, and low-density• DRAM (many flavors) is commodity, denser, tends to
follow Moore’s Law

Absolutely worth investigating… but don’t bet the farm• Routing/addressing research could bear fruit for something other
than raw scaling, e.g. better operational characteristics• Long-term effort, so good thing we have a hardware solution
medium-term.
