[c-nsp] NCS4200 - re-badged ASR920 / ASR900 ?

[Erik Sundberg]

I just had a presentation on this.

Sounded like the ASR920 AKA Rebranded as the NCS4200 will be running the NCS Code. Sounded like same hardware.

Also thinking it's more of a product switch to fill out the NCS Product set.

Or the Nexus 5010 vs. UCS Fabric Interconnect debacle? I think there's one extra CPU/ASIC on the board of the FIs, and the paint color is different, but the code is different.
