	If you've got proven solutions to all of the problems raised in 
RFC 3869, section 3.3, I'm sure we'd love to hear about them.  Heck, 
if you've got even just one proven solution to one of those problems, 
we'd love to hear about them.

	But I think you're being more than a little disingenuous if you 
do not have proven solutions and simply roll out "Let's replace all 
the Internet core routers with dirt-cheap PCs" every time someone 
talks about an Internet routing scalability problem.

	Give me some evidence that you truly understand the problems of a 
Tier-1 provider, and that you've got real-world solutions, and I'd be 
perfectly happy to learn from whatever lessons you've got to teach.

	But even I am smart enough to figure out that the "let them eat 
cake" routine isn't particularly useful.
