[c-nsp] Cisco Switch Portfolio Miss

isn't most of that a by-product of using trident/trident+?
i know that trident ii fixes some of that -- but i think that comes down to the (some say unwise) decision of using ots components, no?

URPF halves the route table size, max 16k routes (but v6 routes count double), a separate memory space for host routes, very limited ACL TCAM and it has to be carved up for v4/v6 at boot time. NXOS for this platform seems very buggy, so one might end up doing endless code upgrades to get past showstopper bugs, only to encounter more bugs in the next build.
