    I suppose he could try to sell it... and people with larger networks
    could see if keeping state on a few million active flows per device is
    'expensive' or 'inexpensive'. Perhaps it's less expensive than it
    seems as though it would.

    Oh, will this be in linecard RAM? main-cpu-RAM? calculated on
    ASIC/port or overall for the whole box/system? How about deconflicting
    overlapping ip-space (darn that mpls!!!) what about asymmetric flows?

    I had thought the flow-routing thing was a dead end subject long ago?
