[c-nsp] The maximum number of match packets Cisco Router can detect on ACL at one time.

If the router is subject to enough traffic where thousands of ACL hits
are happening per second, you DON'T want to have any entries of that ACL
logging.  It's terrible for performance.

Thanks Rodney.
Other thing, though the ACL matches thousand of hits at once..
The log couldn't show this (log buffere has been set to 4096 x 2)
