[j-nsp] MX960 vs MX10K

[Andrey Kostin]

I'd be +1 for this. For DC GW the main concern should be reliability and 
simplicity. If you are going to bring EVPN there, then having fancy 
services mixed on the same chassis may affect your uptime.
Also I'd take MX480 instead of 960 because of architecture compromises 
of the latter. I'm also wondering, if MX960 fits in terms of number of 
ports and capacity with some slots occupied by service cards, maybe 
MX1003 + MX480 (or virtualized services) would do the job?

Kind regards,
Andrey
