RE: [RRG] Opportunistic Topological Aggregation in the RIB->FIB Calculation?

If you look at techniques for just compressing the FIB, there are *many*
things that can and have been done.  

However, those optimizations are not going to impact the RIB and propagate
throughout the net.  [They also can end up being computationally intensive,
sliding the problem around on the time/space tradeoff curve, not necessarily
solving it...]

Again, the problem is not to address just the FIB, the point is to deal with
the overall scalability of the whole control plane.
