[nsp] C7200 Bandwidth Points

[Jason Lixfeld]

Ah!  you didn't specify VXR! :)

I've never heard of a points system for backplane before.  I thought 
VXRs were pretty much unlimited.  Well, short of the obvious -- you get 
a NPE-G1, I/0-GE and 1 PA-GE for each slot and drive ALL of them, you 
are going to run into problems.
