[c-nsp] LACP between router VMs

[Jeff Meyers]

Hi Adam,

LACP packets (so called slow packets in the linux kernel) are never 
forwarded by the bridging code. If it didn't change in the last ~2 
years, you will have to hack your kernel in order to let them pass. It's 
actually only a minor change in a couple of lines. The same applies btw 
to STP packets.
