[c-nsp] VIP4-80 throughput

[Alex Rubenstein]

If that is all you are putting in it, get on ebay and buy a second 
vip4-80. Split the OC3 cards among two VIPs.

If you do that, it should be happy. If you don't do that, it still might 
be happy depending on the features you use.

The RSP is of litle relevance, since it shouldn't be touching any packets.

12.0S is recommended (at least by me).
