[c-nsp] Cisco 7507 RSP4+ with VIP-2 and 2PA-FE-TX

[David Coulson]

1) Do you have dCEF enabled?
2) Do a 'show int stat' to figure out if it's using distributed 
switching or route-cache/process
3) If you're using dCEF, all of the packet switching will be done on the 
VIP. Maybe that's part of the issue. I'm assuming you've got a 128Mb/8Mb 
VIP?

I've worked with 7500s for a while, and I can easily saturate a FE port 
on them.
