[c-nsp] Dell VLT to Cisco VSS

[Paul]

VSS is single control plane so it's all one big chassis, the dell switch 
would have no idea it isn't connected to a single 6500 and should work 
without issues.
VPC is dual control planes using mLAG which is still transparent to the 
LAG partner
as long as the control protocol is standard (802.1ax w/ LACP for 
example)  there *should* be no issues.
stritcly talking about link aggregation here, whatever else you might be 
running is another story
as with everything... test it first :)
