[c-nsp] CPU and Bandwidth utilization on a 7206VXR

[raa at opusnet.com]

Hello all.

I'm trying to determine the kind of backplane I would need in a 7206vxr to
sustain 50-80Mbps.  I currently have a NPE-300.  The router is our gateway.
Right now we do about 35Mbps @ ~60% cpu.  I'm wondering if I could get by
with an NPE-400.  I'd love a G1, but don't think I can pull that off right
now.  Does anyone have a similar setup?

Thanks.
