[c-nsp] asr1000 esp and sips in denali

[Brian Turnbow]

They said it was unifying multiple platforms under one common ios to help
you prepare  for  SDN and NFV in response to customer demand.
Cuz everyone wanted their asr1ks to run the same software as their cat
3850s, they do the same job right?
Not doing sdn and nfv  so I can't comment on that part but  for  now you
lose a couple of features with respect to 3.17

but gain some new hardware  (EPA cards, bidi transceivers )and some new
features (note that some were already in 3.x but not mentioned in above
document)

EPA cards look nice, transceivers already exist from several non cisco
manufacturers so whoopee now I can spend a lot more money for them if I
want.
