[j-nsp] EX4600 Licensing

[Nitzan Tzelniker]

>From what I understand EX4600 will have some unique features compared to
the QFX5100  (e.g. 802.1x if I remember correctly ).

BTW The cost of AFL license for the EX4600 is two times the cost of AFL
license for the QFX5100 so that the price difference is almost nothing if
you need AFL
