[c-nsp] Per packet Load balancing

[Amol Sapkal]

Seems the post went in too early.
I checked after few minutes, the incoming load balancing doesnt work
now. I think I am missing something.

This was what was done:
ip cef enabled globally.
Following command added to the physical interfaces which have the
sub-interfaces supposed to 'static load balance' the downlink traffic.

ip load-sharing per-packet


What is it that I am missing?
