[f-nsp] MLX broadcast storm protection

Anyone out there know of a good way to protect against customer broadcast
storms? We use a few MLX switches with customer ports on them. Occasionally,
a customer will create a loop in their equipment which causes a storm all
the way back to our MLXs. The line cards are pretty good at handling (CPU
goes to 30-40%) but would like to know of a good way to protect our MLX.

Also, any have best security practices they apply on customer ports to help
keep the core switching stable?
