[c-nsp] IPv4/v6 Route Reflectors - Which router to choose?

[McDonald Richards]

The 1002-F has the RP1 PPC based CPU - for the speed you really really want
the RP2 based x86 64 bit CPUs. They are FAST. Route reflectors are such a
critical network function that this is not a place I'd be looking to save
money in a large network deployment.
