[c-nsp] IOS SLB on a 3662

[Paul S. Brown]

I'd suspect the worst case is 10k concurrent sessions - we're running rather 
lower than that just now.

In terms of PPS, given that all we'll be doing from behind it is HTTP 
redirects, that translates to around 10kpps assuming standard ethernet packet 
sizes. I know this is close to the process switched limit for the 3660 
(12kpps) but I've no idea how that scales against SLB usage.

At the moment we're doing closer to 3k concurrent sessions as a peak.
