[c-nsp] Cisco 6506E 4Byte ASN IOS Support

[Nick Cutting]

Doesn't the OP have a 65k with a sup720 - not a Sup2T/65/68k like everyone is replying with advice on?

When we used to run XR 12000's back in the day under IOS 12.0, I was amazed by this.

The CPU ran at 100% and logged "CPU hog" forever, but neither IS-IS, BGP nor LDP sessions (90% of which had full BGP feeds) ever dropped.

Still amazes me today, especially when pings and SSH access to the routers was sluggish as mad...

Mark.
