[c-nsp] FIB scale on ASR9001

[Shawn L]

I'll second Tom on this one.  I actually have 2 9001S routers (the S is the
port / memory limited license).  They have 2 full feeds (V4 and V6) and
some EIGRP, and that's about it.  Currently handling things fine.  Though
only doing ~ 5gig in/out at this point.
