So you think your broadband is slow?

It seems that  the 512K bug may well cause data disruption over the next few weeks.  Interesting information provided by Omar Santos from Cisco regarding  internet growing pains.

Apparently the amount of entries on the global routing table have exceeded 524,000 entries.  This means there could well  be problems with routers that hit their  memory limit causing them to crash, lose data or slow down, resulting in slow or non existing internet.
