[c-nsp] issue on old but running device

Hi Brian
thanks for responding.

I've already done some actions, reboot did not help, the point is that the
same C3925 getting the same feeds in other location doesn't have the same
behaviour.

One difference: 3925 having the issue is connected 1 Gbs to a C9407 from
the market data feed broker, while the 3925 not having the issue is
connected to an old C4948...

Unfortunately I have already done some of the actions, not tried rate-limit
to log the exceed:

1) reboot doesn't helped
2) buffer miss doesn't increase a lot
