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

[CiscoNSP List]

Based on software roadmap, its running XE (Everest currently, then Polaris/unified stack(16.5.2))...they "appear" to be targeting sonet/sdh with it...Its an ASR920/ASR90x, so XE it has to be I guess....unless they plan to transition it to XR....all the other NCS platforms are XR (I believe..5xxx/6xxx are)...It would be like having the ASR9001 running XE, where all others run XR,....just seems wrong lol.


Cheers

Now the interesting question is, of course, *which* NCS code... as there
seem to be a number of different "NCS*" families.

An ASR920-style device with IOS XR on it, and actually doing all the
nice XR things, I'd love to see that.  Even if software upgrades would
suck.
