Monty,
I don't want to be the one that crushes your hopes of analyzing that
10gig of traffic through the 6509, so I won't.

What I will do is pass along some OID's to poll that will show you the
TCAM table utilization and how many flow "misses" you are experiencing
because the SUP720 is horribly undersized.

Active flows
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.1.4.1.1.5

Flow Learn Failures
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.1.4.1.1.6

Total Packets being L3 switched by box
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.1.4.1.1.1

Like I said before about sampling... turn it off.  It does nothing for
you and doesn't help the situation.  Heck, turn it off and watch the
CPU... I suspect you won't see much of a change at all.

This type of netflow "sampling" is NOTHING like sampling on an actual
Cisco router.


Please start graphing the above SNMP OID's before trying anything.  That
will tell you some valuable information.
