Yeah, me too. I know that the Bird daemon itself can easily handle full
BGP tables, and I don't *think* there's any reason why the Babel
protocol implementation should fall down on this (famous last words).

It may kill the *network*, though, as it is going to be bursting out
~10k packets on every update interval (which is ~14 MiB of data)...
