[c-nsp] OSPF equal cost load balancing

[Patrick Cole]

James,

Interesting you should mention the PPPoE thing as all of our ASR920 P/PE are 
deployed using BDI for NNI facing interfaces and we carry bucketloads
PPPoE traffic across them all without any issues.

The only thing I had to be weary of was accidentally putting two service
instances in the bridge domain for the NNI IP interface as it would spit a
ASIC programming error for FRR and start blackholing some labeled traffic.
But as long as you're meticulous about that it seems fine.
