[c-nsp] 2821 Performance/Capacity Planning

[Rodney Dunn]

The 28xx's have a lot more capacity in regards
to memory so they will hold multiple feeds.

It all depends on how much memory you put in the
box to hold the BGP path information.

2821 can go to 1G of memory so you would easily
hold 3 or 4 feeds.

Maybe is someone has one deployed they can give
some real numbers for a specific IOS version.
