I think it just means that the Internet is growing. Remember when people
used to complain that they had to upgrade their Cisco 7000s to 64 MB of
memory in order to maintain the routing tables in a default-free zone?
Now nobody would even consider using a 7000 for that, and it's not even
unusual to see a 2600-series router with 64 MB of RAM.
