I'm sorry, but I don't have experience on that particular platform with EoMPLS. My network is almost completely GSRs and 7500s. All our PEs are 7500s. We aren't letting customers use these circuits yet but every indication is that the processor impact won't be much worse than a normal IP

In ISIS you can only filter routes at 1. redistribution or 2. l1/l2 connections. You can't filter routes between two L1 routers. You prob shouldn't be able to type the command if it doesn't work, but such is IOS. -Original Message- From: Cisco Nuts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:

Well, the first thing to do would be to look at the interface counters and make sure they concur with MRTGs view of the traffic. In my experience when one of our customer routers has a huge burst in traffic it is usually due to either file sharing or a DoS attack of some type. ACLs, netflow,
