[c-nsp] L2TPv3 performance over gig?

[Ge Moua]

I've done testing for both:
* no encryption: ~ 980Mb
* encryption ~ 240 Mb

Performance dependent on router platform (in my case 7203 w/ NSE-100)

Encryption was on 7206 w/ NPE-G1 & VAM2+

Conclusion, performance limited to hardware used and not layer-1 link speed.
