[c-nsp] 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag Termination on 7600/6500 OSN modules

[Davide Ambrosi]

Thanks Mack,
so I have to change all the 7603 boxes and move to 7603-S to support
the ES+ cards and upgrade all the supervisors to SUP720-3B minimum.
Moving to ASR's series (like the ASR1002) could be a good alternative
choice because of the limited GE ports I need on the small POP's (5
GE) ?
