[j-nsp] Accuracy of interface stats

[Shane Short]

You'll find that 9.2Gbps was the 5minute average-- you were probably  
bursting well above that frequently, hence the drops.

There was a massive discussion about this on the nanog list, depending  
on the type traffic your transiting, you shouldn't run your link at  
hotter than 70-90%

Time for an upgrade :)
