Just an update -- I shuffled interfaces last night, so that the bulk of the traffic goes through the 3845's native GigE interfaces. This has reduced CPU by about 10 to 15% and my new max is 423 Mbps, already 5% my previous max.
Thanks for the help.

I guess so. This issue was discussed some time ago on frnog mailing list (french nanog) After asking earlier today, I told myself that you would already use the hwic for the inter-3845, but it appears not. Things should improve if less traffic flows through the hwic. regards, -pierre. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
