[c-nsp] Router recommendation for small ISP

[Mounir Mohamed]

Hi Rens,

Actually there is no statement saying that but I believe this should be the
case soon, Cisco ASR1001 is a totally fixed device, it comes with a mixing
of 4xGE/4xT3/2xPOS-OC3 SPAs which are not filed upgradable, meanwhile Cisco
1002-Fixed gives you the option of installing a single SPA according to your
need, However this is the most used connection types that you might need in
such device.

In terms of resources and forwarding throughput Cisco ASR1001 comes with
2.5G and it is upgradable to 5G via software license whereas Cisco
ASR1002-fixed supports 2.5 only, ASR1001 supports more memory up to 8G
whereas 1002-F stops at 4G.
