Question is - is 256k IPv6 routes suitable? The CER/CES NetIron boxes from Brocade are reasonable. That said, BGP-SD implementations apply both to IPv4 and IPv6. So in a Metro-E Access deployment scenario, the number of IPv6 routes would not matter, as we only download into FIB the minimum necessary to keep the box alive. Mark.
