[c-nsp] ASR opinions..

[Andrew K.]

We were having issues using an ASR1002-F and ASR1002 as an LNS 
termination L2TP/PTA sessions.

This has been fixed in the latest IOS release, the bugID for this issue 
was CSCtj44098.

An other issue with the ASR as LNS is PPPoE Multilink.

IOS-XE 3.4 did introduce MLPoE support, but only one member link is 
supported at this time.
