From my seat, there is not much of a difference between thousands and
millions per metro, or between millions and billions in the entire
world. The aggregation scheme we have worked out (64K areas of 64K MH
sites) fits the bill, and none of the 64K local routes or 64K global
routes is unreasonable.
