[f-nsp] NetIron CER 2000 as a metro switch

[Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr]

Well,

First of all, one is a switch who can do a little routing with small RIB capacity while the other is a router who can do a little switching whit high RIB capacity.

Again, if you don't state your needs/requirements/sizing, it's going to be difficult to help.
