[c-nsp] Ping packet 1400byte on cisco consume 2Mbps of bandwith

[Stephen Wilcox]

1400 bytes is a size. 2Mbps is a rate

How much bandwidth it uses will depend on how many packets are sent  
and how quickly..

Standard cisco ping will send 5 packets so this should result in  
approximately 0Mbps when displayed by a cisco 'show int'

I would suggest if you see the link running hot that you have a loop  
in the network
