What is the right model for dealing with lots of connections to users and 
routes?  This problem isn't going to go away given the increases in 
connectivity and processing power that happen each year.  Today, software 
routing of 10Gbps links is a reality -- part of what comes with that ability 
of hardware is the need to deal with the fact that 10Gbps aggregates a lot 
of users.
