[nsp] GEIP+ and GBIC-ZX

[Rubens Kuhl Jr.]

Test lab is your friend... original GigE cards for the ESR10k only supported
800 Mbps of bandwidth to the PRE. (See
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/aggr/10000/techedge/ch2esr.h
tm )

Cisco would probably press-released the availability of a new+faster card,
so I will assume it's still the same... take a good look at the news section
of Cat6K/7600, GSR and ESR10k. You will see lots of development on the first
two plataforms, and none on ESR10k. There are a lot of new/faster products
with PXF (NRP2/7300/7400 ), but no PRE enhancements to the ESR... the proof
is left up to the reader.

and
