[j-nsp] MX204

[Fredrik Korsbäck]

 Its not a bigger 104. Its a new router completely.

Good
* Junipers fastest router yet (yes)
* Good price
* Full MX featureset
* Small footprint
* EX and QFX can be run as fusiondevices to get more ports

Bad
* Portconfig is weird. Sacrifice 100G to use SFP+. What is 3x100G + 8x10G actually useful for? Limited usecase (we use them as CPEs for 100G customers) 
* Only runs very modern Junos so dont come draggin with your favourite 14.3 release.

I like them but they are not fitting perfectly anywhere in my network other then as CPEs. The lack of flexible I/O ports is a problem
