[c-nsp] Huawei NE40E-X3 vs Cisco AS9K

[Phil Bedard]

The current 16x10G has 8 NPUs each and each NPU can do 15G, that's where
the 120G number comes from. Line rate without having to manage
oversubscription, not accounting for local traffic, would be 8x10GE.  The
24x10G card has been announced and the new fabric should do ~200G/slot
full-duplex.
