[c-nsp] Carrier Aggregation advice

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

If you need slightly denser box - have a look at ME3600x-24cx - can go
up to 4x10G at the price of disabling some 1G ports. The -CX is
shallower (fits into 400mm depth no problem). You can get similar
densities out of ASR903 as well (this runs IOS XE), but it's
effectively the same as ME3600x when it comes to configuration, but
can have dual RSPs. We run a mixture of ASR903 and ME3600x-24cx for
aggregation of similar setup to your NBN.

kind regards
Pshem
