[j-nsp] Anyone uses Adaptive Load Balancing?

[Michael Hare]

Alex-

I've used it AS wide in 14.1 for ~2+ years without observing any negative side effects.  My main driver was a connector's SAN replication MPLS service across an Nx10 bundle mixed with regular IP traffic with the SAN wanting to be one big flow.
