[c-nsp] easy question, PPS v Megabits

[jim bartus]

Since others have covered the huge variance, here's my anecdotal evidence.

Today while our WAN pipe hit 40mbps-in/200mbps-out it was doing
24kpps-in/32kpps-out.  This is for overwhelmingly HTTP traffic, with some
real streams and ftp stuff too.  So short of being some sort of large file
mirror service, this is roughly a best case scenario.
