[nsp] GEIP+ and GBIC-ZX

[Rubens Kuhl Jr.]

The pps spec of the GEIP+ may be achieved turning off ACLs and NetFlow...
which makes your router a very fast sitting duck on hostile networks.

The only reason I see for buying GEIP+ cards is such a shortage of money
that makes you take bad investment decisions in order to survive. Cisco GSRs
with only Engine-3 or the 10-port GigE line-cards and Juniper M-series are
the ways to go in backbone/wan environments;  Cisco 7600, Juniper M and
Foundry with JetCores are more suitable choices  for datacenter/metro
environments.
