And why wouldn't the Internet work with 600,000 prefixes in the DFZ?
Now all of a sudden for instance Cisco 7600 3CXL isn't enough to old a full table (at around 750k).
Also, IPv6 uses twice the TCAM resources as IPv4...
so, basically what you are saying is that you know that your routers need an upgrade in 5 years and you don't want to pay for an upgrade or you can't figure out a business
which covers the costs for that? But you are telling small ISPs/NCOs/"hobbyusers"/whatever THEY don't get their business plan right if they don't can afford paying $$$ for PI space or rather would

------ No, the problem that the small ISPs you are speaking about will have to spend that money to swallow such routing table. And it is not $2000, "slightly" more...
Sascha Lenz [SLZ-RIPE] ---------------------- Small companies start with small routers, PC based Linux Quagga Boxes, or Routerboards, or Juniper J-Series or whatever - not really much costs here (see other replies). -------------- They will not be able to "start with small routers", because calculating constantly changing routes (presumable from several sources) costs processing power, routing decisions with huge routing table cost processing power, even receiving and sending plain packets costs processing power. And all this costs money. PC-based routers are not able to do all of this at once and in this anount. The "selfish" small ISPs could easily drive himself into trap of trouble when they have to spent much more money for equipment (and made all others do it) rather than using PA from LIR.
