[c-nsp] sup2T software & release notes have hit

[Mark Tinka]

Having read through the SUP2T architecture, it seems to be 
shaping up to outperform a 7600 with an RSP720 + ES line 
cards, assuming everything works as advertised :-).

Some of the line card compatibility madness may put a few 
customers off if they want to move to this new supervisor, 
but overall, if you've been hell-bent on keeping the 6500 as 
a router in your network, the improvements (at least on 
paper) give this chassis a whole new lease on life, and 
looks far better than a 7600 (or even a Nexus 7000 if you're 
an MPLS buff).

Heck, some of the features that kept us from considering the 
7600 years ago now seem to be supported by the SUP2T.

Depending on one's scale and feature requirements, I suspect 
the SUP2T may be compared against the ASR9000 for customers 
looking to have a modest but high-end router in their 
network.

Let's wait and see.

Cheers,

Mark.
