[c-nsp] Output Packet drops on ethernet interface

Hi all

I have a 6509 10/100/1000 TX port facing a 10/100 on a 7204-vrx.

Both sides are hard coded to 100/Full and the link does not exhibit any layer 2 errors for this link yet on the 6509 side I am seeing many output drops.

And causing some packet loss, if I do a 5000 packet ping I get a dropped packet every 20 or so.

These are connected directly with a cat6 cable

6509 output
