[c-nsp] SXF4 (modular)

[Church, Chuck]

The odd part is the 'modular' IOS has just one big 75+ mb .bin file for
download.  Sort of sounds like the non-modular.  I guess the features
you guys are looking for will be the additional 'modules' that add onto
this?  I really hope this doesn't turn into Windows, where a certain
.DLL version is needed for one feature, but that version isn't
compatible with a 3rd module.  And so on...

OSM/SIP is not a big issue for us, but IPv6 and MPLS is.

Damn, the plan was "one of the redundant 7600s on modular IOS, one on
non-modular IOS" (so any sort of catastrophic IOS failure will only 
kill one half of the setup) - but if IPv6 isn't there, this isn't going
to work.

Are there any timelines known for IPv6 and MPLS?
