[c-nsp] Packet drops

[Blake Willis]

Hi Mack,

 	"Total output drops" from sh int and "sh queueing int" are 
interesting (and they seem to correspond), but I'm not certain if this only 
shows packets dropped by the RP (though IIRC it's a hardware counter).  The 
"sh int switching" hidden command usually provides plenty of info, but alas 
no drops.

 	Try 'show qm-sp port-data' (run on the SP):  http://tinyurl.com/2zr6ps
While it doesn't seem to have any packet counters either, at least it shows 
you the exact size of all your queues.

'show platform software' shows us what we want, but alas only for IPv6 multicast:  http://tinyurl.com/yvlj2w

 	I think the closest thing to showing what's really going on may be a 
match-any policy-map, but then we're not really hitting the interface's 
native limitations anymore.

 	It would be interesting to see what Cisco says...
