Setting aside the address scarcity issue, how is IPv6 going to simplify the routing table? If anything, it would just be an explosion of the number of addresses?

I mean a million is objectively a large number if it's all on paper, but to me, that's not a particularly large data set for talking about the entire freaking internet.

And how cheap of a SOC can handle that in memory? A better question might be to even make a system on a chip that couldn't handle that memory?
