[c-nsp] Rate limit on 3750

[Clinton Work]

Sounds about right for a single TCP session (iperf) and a 30Mbps 
policer.  Have you seen the following article from Cisco with discusses 
the differences between shaping and policing?  Personally, I really 
dislike using policing on TCP traffic for sub-native speeds because it 
results in a lot of drops as the clients send bursty traffic.  I would 
prefer to implement shaping, but very few Cisco boxes support that on a 
budget.
