[c-nsp] Router to push 622Mbps

[Benjamin Lovell]

Based on your requirements I would say it breaks down something like  
this...

ASR 1K - can do all nicely if loaded up with enough memory for 7 BGP  
tables
7600/6500 - possible scale issues with 7 full tables
7304 NSE-100 - possible scale issues with 7 full tables. may be  
missing required features. i.e TE FRR
7200 NPE-G2 - may not handle traffic rate(high rate of small packets  
is a problem)

ASR 1K is your best bet
