[j-nsp] Strangeness with CoS and scheduler rate-limiting

I believe in one of my experiments I had simple config with be = 85% transmit, nc = 5% transmit and nothing more, total of 100% with gig if, still seeing over 50 Mbit/s from test classes, but I'll be back Monday after more testing.

What this means is there is no guarantee to Best Effort or Network Control at all, and your experience may vary depending on network conditions.  You are correct, however that the rest of the traffic will hit your BE forwarding-class, but there are no guarantees to this class.
