[c-nsp] A switch with huge number of Mac address

[Adam Vitkovsky]

Hi Alireza,

Will the switch be actually carrying traffic for 192k MAC addresses?
If the nature of traffic allows, you can enable conversational MAC learning in that case the switch does not need to learn all the MAC addresses in the DC(s) and will reduce the CAM table requirements significantly.
