[c-nsp] Extreme vs. Cisco

[Rubens Kuhl Jr.]

Most Extreme horror stories I've heard of were L3 ones. Don't know if
some new architeture solves this, but route-caching like pre-CEF times
isn't an option anymore, in my opinion.
(that lead to some people doing Extreme L2 + Juniper L3 combos). That
design decision also affected most Foundry products, although they
have topology-based forwarding in some linecards now.
