I recall hearing this depends on the SSB (etc.) because what the 
command really does is actually just generates the desired (e.g., 10K) 
different policers -- so the issue is how many policers that can 
support.

My recollection is that on some older systems, 32K is the recommended 
maximum and with some newer ones 64K.  I'd say 10K should be 
achievable.
