no, I am not. I don't bend reality to adapt to my disbility, but find solutions to challenges offered. Mike (and i don't whine but work on it) On Thu, 18 May 1995 bmanning () ISI EDU wrote:
Eventually routers stopped being able to handle full routing in 16Mb of memory, and suddenly the very real cost of carrying routing information around became clear to a number of providers: how much did replacing a bunch of mostly-AGS+ routers with 64Mb Cisco 7000-series routers cost?This memory jump has occured more than once. I remember 4 and 8 meg routers. 16 meg boxen were deamed large enough when they were created. The leap to 64 is just another step in the process.nothing longer than /18 or /19 (it's /18 now, but it's not entirely inflexible, and dialogues continue) will have global scope.As an aside, is anyone else besides Sprint behind this /18 model? I know that Sean is a big proponent but I have heard no other public comment on this. (well there was one, which indicated that the community had reached consenses on this point, which is why I ask.) --bill
