[c-nsp] Sup720 vs RSP720 - Difference?

[Phil Mayers]

Oops. Yes of course, thanks for that! The point about distributed netflow is a good one - we'd certainly exceed the tcam limits without it

Correction: NetFlow entries are 128k on non-XL and 256k on XL PFCs/DFCs.
However, it's worth to note, that if the chassis is equipped with
DFCs, the collection of NetFlow entries happens independently - so,
theoretically, each of DFC-equipped LCs could go up to 128k if that
would be DFC3B/C, or up to 256k for DFC3BXL/3CXL.
