reality check: if you had 100TB of on-ASIC SRAM you would still be screwed. you can't afford the PER-PACKET LATENCY of telco number style portability REFERRAL. once again: ip is a connectionless protocol. each packet is potentially a new route.
Potentially, but not really.
telcos don't mind a second or two in call setup, because it is CALL SETUP, not 42 times a second.
Call setups do not take a second or two. Call setups that traverse 50 switches take a second or two. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean () av8 com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
