[c-nsp] ISR G2 "multicore"?

[James Weathersby (jweather)]

Thanks, yeah we're talking with all of those guys.  A lot of it has to
do with the different roles the routers play.

It may be worthwhile to talk to the ION team, they did multi-core on  
the NPE-G1.  They did a lot of work since 2001 in ITD (now NSSTG) to  
make it work out.

Let me know if you need introductions to the principals involved.  The  
XE stuff is still a mess IMHO, and XR is still a over-engineered beast  
with massive overhead.

Make sure that anything you do includes all the hotice and similar  
projects.
