These are just numbers reported by Alan Cox and Alexey Kuznetsov.
Feeding full routes to a linux 2.0.3x box running gated, I get: # cat /proc/net/route | wc -l 54677 and that command takes 13s to complete.
Well thats great for benchmarking procfs B) I wonder how long 'netstat -rn' takes on *BSD with 54k routes. -Dan
