[cisco-bba] LNS with 7200 with NPE-G1

As Dennis mentions, MPF might be a good fit here for this config,
especially since the interfaces appear to be only ethernet.

Your config is very basic, I don't see anything that would cause process
switching or something detrimental to the CPU. How much traffic, in
aggregate, are these 200 users pushing (bps and pps)? 16k sessions is a
control-plane limitation, but if you have broadband traffic, you'll hit
the data-plane limit much faster (16k is really for narrowband). MPF can
greatly help improve data-plane performance.
