[c-nsp] Alternate to TOR (4948)

[CiscoNSP List]

Thanks Gustav - Notice there is a difference in buffer size (4948 v Nexus), but store and forward vs cut-though may make the buffer difference moot?

Any issues with micro bursts causing drops on the Nexus? (As we see virtually none on the 4948's)

Cheers.
