[j-nsp] Burst size for policing

[Huan Pham]

Hmm, if you can show / monitor interface on your FW during the peak time, that would give you the actual speed customer gets.

Alternatively, can you try downloading or uploading a big file and see what is the speed customer gets?

The above methods are more realistic.

Speedtest is performed in a very short time using PING or UDP and the rate shown may be subject to your burst size config.

I would not lower the burst size just to have the speedtest number right.
