[c-nsp] 100 meg throughput

[Derick Winkworth]

Paul:

I wouldn't count strictly on the so-called 5 minute average.

I've suggested to users that they upgrade a distribution/backbone link when 
they only average around 30m on a 100m link.  The reason was periodic, 
somewhat sustained spikes of traffic causing buffer failures.

I imagine you are seeing some buffer failures, possibly interface throttles?

Just curious.
