Hello to all. As a follow-up, we found out the cause of this sudden spike in IP traffic from the intranet hitting the gateway router and causing a CPU utilisation spike which lasts untill all of this particular traffic is sent. Basically it is a database update from a UNIX box that runs via remote SSH, but whenever it hits the router, all other processes / traffic are "suspended" and this SSH traffic gets 100% of the CPU's attention. No, we're not running any QoS features. This is still being looked into by TAC and hopefully I'll hear from the Cisco engineer soon. Meanwhile, if anyone has more info on the impact of SSH traffic on Cisco routers let me know. BTW, the IOS version is 11.2(12) and the database file size varies from 250 to 700 MB. Thanks again.
