[c-nsp] huge amount of mcast traffic

[Matthew Huff]

Even with fabric enable blades in the c6500, you are going to get massive output buffer overflows. Market data has very uneven traffic patterns causing microburst effects. What sup-engines/blades are on the boxes? What type of multicast replication is being used (ingress/egress). QoS policies typically make matters worse. What type of interfaces are on the 6500?
