[j-nsp] MX204

[Bill Blackford]

I'm looking at cost effective replacements for MX80s with fairly pedestrian features. No BNG, CGNAT, etc. GRE and Flow yes. 

That port config fsckery is odd though. Their docs show you can get 24 XE ports. (8 SFPP + 4*4 on the multi rate QFSP-28's). Is this not the case?
