[j-nsp] SRX vs. SSG

[Chris Burwell]

A few months back when we were looking at the SSG & SRX we were told
that there were no "Immediate" plans to phase out the SSG. Juniper
projects their product lifelines about 18 months in advance, and at
that point the SSG was still in the picture (Note: I believe 18 months
was the number given, but I'm not 100% sure).

IMO it appears that Juniper is building up the SRX line to replace the
SSG line, particularly since the SSG is running ScreenOS.
