[c-nsp] ASR920 vs NCS5000

[Daniel Serane]

Ok, so what I understood now is:

- ASR920 is lighter version of ASR900 in terms of ASIC/TCAM and buffers
- ASR920 and ASR900 have same control-plane, same features
- NCS5000 is basically even more light, less features and less FIB space,
just more bandwidth and IOX

anything else to consider?

thx guys
