[c-nsp] ASR9k CWDM

[chris stand]

meant to attach the XFP module link too - (I am guessing this is what
you are planning on using )
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/hardware/ethernet_line_card/installation/guide/asr9kELCIGinstalling.html#wp709833

use the XFP DWDM optic info from my prior mail and look that up in the
pricing tool ( they are not cheap as you will find )

Avago & Agilestar make very reasonable priced DWDM optics

my experience is between 6500s and 7Ks with an eye to replacing the
6500s with more 7Ks
