[j-nsp] What is an acceptable amount of latency for traffic routed through an SRX cluster?

Its an SRX3600 cluster, with no traffic traversing the fabric connection,
so its all being contained on one chassis. These are just standard ICMP
packets between two linux hosts on different subnets.

Thanks,
Morgan
