The problem some of us have been worring about is the routing table.

The routing table can either fill up or be overwhelmed by the rate
of change of routing entries.  There is a tradeoff between these
two - no changes means that you can have a large static table; lots
of changes and you will need a smaller table to have stability.

Unfortunately its hard to predict when you will tip over...
