[c-nsp] ASR 920 Replacement

[Patrick Cole]

Jason,

It was an internally raised bug, so you probably won't find any mention of it anywhere on any release notes.  Classic case of the "fix it before someone notices" :

CSCvb80108 - "On disposition VPLS traffic getting dropped and disposition label info is not present on hw"

Fixed code releases are Everest-16.6.1a Everest-16.6.1 Everest-16.5.2 16.6.1s 16.6.1a 16.6.1 16.5.2 16.5(1.149).

Regards,

Patrick
