[c-nsp] Cat 6500 vs ASR

I'm curious about this question as well.  I did visit FN, and was able to
grab features provided by both the 3.6 ASR image in addition to the 15.1
image for Sup720.  Unfortunately FN doesn't have image info for the IOS-XE
on the Sup2T.  I'm wondering if the list is a little incomplete though,
since the 6500 image didn't mention any AAA features.  I find that hard to
believe.

How about www.cisco.com/go/fn

That is the feature navigator.    Other than that, I think you'd have to
find some CiscoLive presentations.
