Number of BGP routes comes up to 300,000

I came across this post: "BGP breaks 300,000". Applying my previous rough estimation: 70M bytes for 100,000 routes, it would takes around 210M bytes to only store that 300,000 BGP routes in memory alone!

Compared to the number at the beginning of Year 2000 (around 75,000), it is now (August 2009) 4 times as many. What a explosion in number!
