[c-nsp] 100 meg throughput

[Paul Stewart]

Thanks for the reply... This is going from a 6509 to a GSR 12008 :)

We seem to have come to the conclusion that on a **5 min** average, once
we break 80 meg we are probably  hitting limits... This has been
confirmed last night via the 30 second interval when manually checking
every so often....

That all depends on how good the equipment is on both ends of the line.
 On a 100BaseTX connection as long as it's clean it shouldn't matter
what media it runs over.  The real question is can the equipment on both
ends switch packets fast enough to fill the pipe.
