Hi Ruben,

If you running 12.3 or later IOS I'd suggest backreving to 12.2. fast switching is a problematical thing in the newer IOS on these older CPU cards. I'd guess that even if you have ip cef defined in your config, that cef isn't actually running. what
does show ip cef, show cef day?

 IOS  12.1/12.2 is about the newest most people go on the NPE300

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  It running at ~18% cpu and is a 7206vxr w/NPE300.
This morning the loss cleared up.  I didn't collect enough data yesterday to
really get to the bottom of this, so I'll drop it as a Qwest megahost issue.

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Ping priority on Cisco devices

All,

I've heard that Cisco devices handle ICMP at a low priority.  I found one
post describing it handled in process-switching and not fast-switching.
Does anyone have an article that explains that process and is it
configurable?

The reason I ask is I see about 4% packet loss when I ping devices in our
broadband aggregation network.  From the CPE to the router there is none,
from my workstation to the router there is none, but if I ping the whole
path I get a fairly consistent 4% loss.  I can't find any congestion or
errors.  Ping from my workstation to the CPE are a consistent 60ms, aside
from the 4% loss.

Thanks.

What model is your router and can you post a config?

What is CPU utilization on the router? What is memory utilization on the router?

Ted
