[c-nsp] BW parameter on the Interface

[Rodney Dunn]

The BW command doesn't have any influence over
packet forwarding in an equal cost paths scenario.

I think what he's asking for is this.

For a 2Mbps or less serial link the queueing by
default is WFQ.  If it's greater than 2Mbps it's
FIFO queueing.

If there are multiple equal cost paths in the
routing table the load balancing over the links
from a packet forwarding perspective is determined
by the switching vectors, no the BW associated
to an interface.

Unless I misundertood what he/you were saying.
