[c-nsp] Routing recommendations

[Matthew Crocker]

I don't need the packet rate except to survive a DDoS,  1gbps @  
64byte packets = 2.3Mpps which Cisco says the NPE-G2 can do. My  
normal data rates are an order of magnitude less in PPS.  I have  
multiple upstreams,  My plan is to get a 7201 (or J-series) for each  
upstream, basically dedicate a router per upstream.  2 GigE  
upstreams,  2 routers, GigE link between the two (iBGP) .  I like the  
7201 with 4 GigEs,  1 for upstream, 1 for x-router link, 2 for HSRP  
to core switches.
