[c-nsp] Performance issue on link

Another thing to keep in mind is that the local client will always dump the
RWIN at line rate. So you could need to increase the default shape queue
size up to possibly that large if there is a significant speed difference
between the initial wire link to the device, and your WAN circuit, like
example a gigabit LAN.
