[c-nsp] ASR - modular image

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

Thank you for the off-list replies. I've read some more documentation
regarding the ASRs and I'm a bit unsure what the advantages of running
a sub-packaged image are. According to the Cisco website:

" Individual sub-package upgrades are atypical on the Cisco ASR 1000
Series Routers, because it is very rare to experience a case where a
single sub-package is upgraded without upgrading all the sub-packages
from the consolidated package. Individual sub-package upgrades are
most useful when only a single sub-package of an otherwise functioning
set of sub-packages requires an upgrade. "

which leaves me even more perplexed about the usefulness of the
'sub-packaged' version.

kind regards
Pshem
