[j-nsp] Interface "bandwidth" configuration

[Richard A Steenbergen]

Does anyone know why the JUNOS interface "bandwidth" command (for 
setting informational data about the capacity of an interface, e.g. for 
detection via snmp), as documented here:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos94/swconfig-network-interfaces/interfaces-configuring-the-interface-bandwidth.html

Doesn't support aggregated interfaces? It says as much in the last
sentence of the above documentation, but I'm kinda surprised that nobody
ever asked for this to be fixed. It seems like subints on an aggregate
interface would be the single most useful place to configure this. For
example, say you have a 40G ae trunking down to a switch, where one
subint vlan maps to a 1GE port, another maps to a 2xGE link-agg, another
maps to a 10GE, etc, etc. This is the kind of thing that you might want
to know about via SNMP, but as it stands today it always reports the 
capacity of the ae on the subint even if you manually configure a 
bandwidth value.

Basically I'm hoping this is just some silly oversight from long long 
ago, and someone can be prompted to fix it. :)
