[c-nsp] ASR1002-X & (2) full BGP feeds

[Gustav UHLANDER]

Hello Adam.
We are running a couple of ASR1001 with 8Gb memory with 2 full feeds and some minor L3vpns in the same box without issue.

In my opinion this box should work fine with 8GB RAM both from a memory and CPU perspective, even with 2 or more full feeds. I have ASR1004-RP2s with 8GB RAM doing a similar job (in MPLS VPNs), its fine. ASR1002-X is a refreshed RP2 afaik.

RP1 with 4GB RAM, not su much ...
