[c-nsp] Cisco Router Suggestion

[chris stand]

I have part of the same problem bringing in 2 different MAN telco providers
for remote offices into 2 data centers which currently are being handled by
 3750X stacks at each DC.

We initially - I still like it - thought of ASRs as well but have decided
that the 4451 will give us what we need for about 25% less. AES encryption
on the 4451 drops if you are doing full 2Gb though.

Heres the Miercom test if you are interested.
