[j-nsp] BGP/L3 routing support on EX2200 & EX2200-C

[Paul S.]

 From what I've seen, the license is mainly a 'nag license,' at least 
for BGP.

I've got quite a few customers doing BGP on the aforementioned products 
without the AFL, all it appears to affect is that it whines every single 
time a commit is performed -- yet continues to function fine.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it, but it does offer /some/ leeway.
