[c-nsp] Carrier Aggregation advice

[Pete Lumbis]

IOSd runs as a process on top of Linux. It's basically IOS with the kernel

for chassis (interface/module) management, and some shim layer programs
that handle taking software CEF (show ip cef) and programming it down to
the forwarding engine (the ESP).
