[c-nsp] Commited Access Rate on dot1q subif on Cisco 7500

[Mihai CHELARU]

Hi,

I had around 40 input and 40 output, iirc. The performance was highly 
deteriorated. Even with a few (5-10) the performance is bad. Keep in mid 
that you got to rate-limit your clients as distributed as possible in 
order to avoid this kind of situations.
