[F10-nsp] the throttles counter

[Adam Waite]

Those are ethernet flow-control frames, and are usually generated by a
slower speed device on the switching fabric receiving packets faster
than it can handle. They're not necessarily bad, but 30/sec seems a
little fast. Try to isolate the issue to a single host or hosts, and put
them on their own broadcast domain.
