[c-nsp] N7k CoPP versus rate-limiters

[Phil Mayers]

All,

We've just taken delivery of our first pair of N7k (and so far I'm 
impressed).

I'm playing with porting our standard 6500 config to an equivalent N7k 
config, and I'm a bit puzzled by the interaction of CoPP and the 
hardware rate-limiters.

On 6500/Sup720 these two features have well documented limitations and 
interaction - specifically HW rate-limiters pre-empt CoPP. I can't seem 
to find detailed information on how that works in the N7k.

In general, what should I be using, for what?

This is NX-OS 6, with M1 series linecards doing routing (MPLS).
