[f-nsp] Significan Differents Between NetIron MLX dam NetIron XMR

[Lazuardi Nasution]

Very helpful opinion. Any suggestion of small scale MPLS switch/router
which has Multi-VRF and NAT capability ? We just have small number of
customers, so we just need small number of virtual routers.

Thank you.
