[c-nsp] ME-C3750 code on plain WS-C3750?

    So we get MPLS on a couple of uplinks but not across the board?

    Traceroute results are hidden in some MPLS scenarios, no? Or is this 
a case where it should work and doesn't?

    Instability in the 3750 ... does this extend to the other ME type 
switches?
