[j-nsp] Experience with MX10003

[Luis Balbinot]

It's not the same chip, as Alexander pointed out. And it's not even
brand new, it's been around for 2 years now.

We are deploying our first 3 units next month and the only "bad" thing
is that you have to use Junos 17.3, so be prepared for an adventure.

But MX10003 is not better than MX960, it's different. If you need a
lot of 10G ports the MX960 is the best option, especially if you have
a mix of SFP+ interfaces (ER, CWDM, BiDi, etc).
