With Path MTU Discovery (which is on by default), you effectively create a distict route for every host. Currently, routes appear to take ~20 minutes to expire. It seems perfectly reasonable for a big FTP or WWW server to see 50,000 different hosts in this period. This is getting fairly close to the 64K possible entries. > The number would not be effected much (if at all) IPV4 verses IPV6. IPV6 gives you a bigger worst case, but shouldn't affect the typical behaviour. Why is there such resistance to moving from a short to an int?
