[c-nsp] The myths of autonegotiate vs forced (was: full duplex mismatch speed - dynamips)

[Andriy Bilous]

I started to believe after your post that it could be true as we have
the same hand over from our EoSDH. That is on fiber and having speed
nonegotiate on those ports annoys the hell out of me.

Another case - multispeed media-converters which are rare guest by
ISPs I guess. The lack of optical sockets on old ISRs forced many
people to use them and having autoneg there isn't the best thing one
could do.
