[c-nsp] ISR G2 "multicore"?

[James Weathersby (jweather)]

We're looking at a lot of options, but trying to avoid having to
re-write the entire OS.  At last count, T train IOS had over 4500
features, and I think we have customers using every one of them on an
access router.  We can't afford to eliminate any of them in a rewrite as
some other platforms have been able to do.

We will see some of the same efforts put forth in the Cat6500/NXOS to
push modularity especially now that we're looking at a universal image
with 15.0? Having worked with NXOS to some extent now, I greatly
appreciate the ability to add/remove features thus delimiting exposure
to "fat finger" config. Thanks for listening.

We're looking at several options for the multi-core CPU.  Offloading
specific features, management, apps, HA options.  We've looked very
closely at some of the other attempts to use multi-core processors
across Cisco and are trying to learn from their experiences.
