[j-nsp] Optimizing the FIB on MX

[Colton Conor]

Saku,

You seems to know a bit about processors to say the least.

What processor is in the Cisco 9001, and how does it compare to a MX104 in
terms of speed and BGP Performance?

What about a Cisco 9010 ASR9K Route Switch Processor with 440G/slot Fabric
and 6GB?
