FIB Sizing

[Graham Johnston <johnstong () westmancom com>]

Does anybody have a working projection, or crystal ball, that can provide a recommendation on FIB size requirements for 
the next 24 months?  Are we expecting the IPv4 table to continue to grow at somewhere around 50k routes a year? I came 
up with this from eyeballing the graph at 
http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/plota?file=%2fvar%2fdata%2fbgp%2fas2.0%2fbgp-active.txt&descr=Active%20BGP%20entries%20%28FIB%29&ylabel=Active%20BGP%20entries%20%28FIB%29&with=step.

Thanks,
