Not. The empirical evidence suggests that aggregate flap rate is proportional to the number of prefixes in RIB. Now, when people talk about route update processing they tend to forget that IGP and routing table updates are easy; matching prefixes against ruting policy filters is not. I would say that a computing device capable of doing today's border routing policies at 1M updates per second is well into the realm of science fiction.
The questions are (a) can they do it for a pricetag of under $2M, and (b) how many will they sell?
The question of profitability of cheese mining on the Moon is irrelevant, because Moon isn't made from cheese. --vadim
