[j-nsp] QFX5200 and other software than JunOS

[Luca Salvatore]

Juniper announced a while back (at their NXTWORK conference ) that the
QFX5200 would be open.  Best to reach out to your account rep to see
exactly what the details are.
The QFX5200 isn't shipping just yet, i believe it the 32 port one will be
Q1 2016 and the 64 port will be Q2

We use lots of the QFX5100-24Q and they have been solid.
