Route table max up to 32K

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey,

Just wondering,
On what real kernel routing table you would need more then 256?

You can store many route tables inside bird in a case it's a route 
server that holds information for other routers which fetch from bird 
directly the tables.

I assume that somewhere in the very far future there will might be a 
need for such a thing.
