  Do they?

  There is a rather large contingency of folks who feel the current
  paradigms of global routing necessitate a table growth explosion.

  Moving away from a BFR to a distributed switching system does have
  merits.  The assumption for this model is that the routing engine
  for the switching systems grows exponentially.

  I don't really buy into this point of view, but it is there...
