[c-nsp] Linerate 100mb on 7204 NPE-225?

[Robert A. Hayden]

Yea, you're correct.  I should have provided more information.  The 
traffic types will be a wide-variety of varying-sized packets, so assume 
100mb line rate using small packets.

Physical space isn't the issue, just trying not to spend more than is 
necessary.
