Removed old lab description template and replaced with new template.
Updates for ... 1) Lab description 2) POD description 3) Examples of lab tolpology and POD topology diagrams. These files were created using ideas from existing lab/POD descriptions and lab experience for rls B. (cp) provided some tidying up and random spelling fixes for the toolchain.

There are 8 x 10 gige SFP+ ports available on a typical C100MP used for Avalanche Layer 4-7 testing.
The N4U offers 2 x 40 gige QSFP+ ports with the MX-2 Spirent Test Center Layer 2-3 testing.
-There are 2 x Cumulus switches with 32 ports of 40 gige QSFP+ ports for a total capacity of 256 ports of 10 gige. We use QSFP+ to SFP+ break out cables to convert a single 40 gige port into 4 x 10 gige ports.
-Together these offer a flexible solution to allow up to 8 simultaneous tests to take place with physical traffic generators at the same time. Assuming a 10 to 1 oversubscription ratio we could handle 80 community users with the current environment.
