[f-nsp] NetIron MLX-4 vs Juniper MX240

[Abello, Vinny]

Just to clarify, since the later 3.x code, you do need the "no
transceiver-type-check" on the MLX/XMR to use an unsupported SFP. We even
had to use that command to use a Foundry branded SFP which was originally
from another product line. I believe they since fixed that problem though in
a later release.

You're free to use third party optics on MLX/XMR and MX. Try to do the
same on ASR without hidden (unsupported) command... ;-)
It's your choice to be free or... not to be :-) Moreover ASR seems to be
"new born" platform so you need to think about bugs which may appear.
The main advantage of XMR/MLX is price and port density with good
functionality. If you have some more money to spent you can select more
advanced platform like MX - which is really powerful also form
functional point of view.
