[f-nsp] J-BxGMR4 and BGP + Bandwidth

[Jeroen Wunnink]

Sure, the BI will run several full tables with no problem.

But the problem I (and a customer recently with his own BI) ran into, 
aside from a very small CAM table running full very quickly, was 
unexplainable packetloss at 200Mbit+ traffic levels.
It was a very minor amount of loss (0.1% to 0.5%), but noticable enough 
to make it unusable for UDP audio streams.

And I've seen this only on BI's doing BGP, I have several BI's doing 
basic L3 (gateway for vlans, ospf, etc) with no problems.

So if you can avoid it, don't use the Jetcores for BGP related work.
