[c-nsp] Connect directly for IPTransit?

[Mick O'Rourke]

As a content network we do it directly for both 10GigE transit and 1GigE
transit into out 1k's and 9k's.

One of our up streams runs both 1k's and 9k's as well, but they terminate
customer access at switching layer port running sub nits per customer. It
works just as well as what we do given the requirement, but obviously with
far better investment scale for them.

On some of our non transit 1k's we run some GigE ports bundled as port
channels and some to support EFP and other services with port channel
limitations on standalone access where po limitations do exist.
