[j-nsp] MX80 max MAC addresses

Hi Hendrik,

you put it exactly right: "according to the documentation".
I am not sure about how much trust can be put into a
general specsheet when it comes to this matter. Erroneous
copy&paste jobs, lack of communication etc potentially
fubar things up real fast. Also, to be glared upon by one's
peers and executives because one took this datasheet for
real (especially after the initially very thin information
about the MX80 platform in general), only to stumble across
some hidden restriction *after* deploying a sizeable amount
of those boxes seems, well, risky.

Guess I'll forward this to our sales reps.

Thanks and cheers,

	sven03
