[c-nsp] how to validate cell rates?

[Clinton Work]

Gert, I agree with your calculation, but it really depends upon how the 
Telco has built the ATM VC inside their network. The Telco could have
used a VBR PVC with an unforgiving CDVT (Cell Delay Variance Tollerance) 
value. The only soltuion may be reducing your PCR value until the packet 
loss goes away.
