[c-nsp] Router recommendation

[Church, Chuck]

I'm surprised that no one mentioned a small L3 switch, like a
3550/3560/3750.  With a small number of BGP routes, it'll work.  The
ability to do line rate ACLs, policing, and withstand most any DOS is
pretty nice.  Of course, there are some things you can't do - NBAR,
shaping, uRPF, IPSec tunnels.  Once you figure out what you can live
with, the decision will be easier.  Although the higher end 2800s might
be able to approach line-rate 100mb traffic.

I'd say the 2851 would serve you well.  You'd need to add an additional
ethernet port (either via HWIC or NM) but it would work fine.

Otherwise, to get 3 FE's onboard, you'd have to go with a 7200 with an
NPE-G1, which sounds overkill for this.
