[c-nsp] ASR902 vs ME3800X

[Mattias Gyllenvarg]

Regarding what replaces the ME3800

Was looking around the Cisco labyrinth and saw that the "big" RSP for the
ASR 903 has 144Mb buffers and relatively interesting possibilities
regarding interfaces.
Assuming feature parity this would be a nice upgrade. Not to bad price, but
some wierd limitation on card positions.
