Do they?
There is a rather large contingency of folks who feel the current
paradigms of global routing necessitate a table growth explosion.
Moving away from a BFR to a distributed switching system does have
merits. The assumption for this model is that the routing engine
for the switching systems grows exponentially.
I don't really buy into this point of view, but it is there...
