[j-nsp] Best practice for igp/bgp metrics

[Luis Balbinot]

Never underestimate your reference-bandwidth!

We recently set all our routers to 1000g (1 Tbps) and it was not a
trivial task. And now I feel like I'm going to regret that in a couple
years. Even if you work with smaller circuits, having larger numbers
will give you more range to play around.
