[c-nsp] BGP router upgrade

[Scott Granados]

In what configuration does an NPE G1 load tables in under a minute?

I haven't seen one load a full table in anywhere near sub 1 min.

G2 yes, G1 really?

SUP720-3BXL can load BGP table in under 1min, but NPE-G1 can do lot better.
But initial convergence is hardly very interesting metric.

No, I wouldn't run DFC until I need them. Decentralization carries some
complexity and may include some surprises like inability to police 
accurately.

RSP720 has MSFC4 so control-plane is snappier.
