Ok, it's probably a stupid question, but given the relative ease of putting 4gb+ ram on a 64bit platform, could packet per second performance be improved by brute forcing the route lookup as an array of 1 byte destination interface indexes for a contiguous swath of /32's from bottom to top?
8 bits per destination are not enough because you really want to put all the necessary L2 information into the FIB. Perhaps even AS numbers, for flow export.
