100.000 end-hosts seems a reasonable target per campus. Bigger 
aggregations seem to exceed campus environment, they are more "provider" 
environments. Some routers are assumed at the campus border that will 
break the campus.
The 10.000 bridges are a total of bridges and Rbridges? How many  
Rbridges maximum,  10.000?
