In 12.2(18)SXE code for PFC switched packets the SP sends the packets out via inband rather than sending them to the RP. So changing to 12.2(18)SXE or higher release for PFC switched traffic reduces the CPU of the RP, but increases the SP CPU load slightly. So the fairly old ones I guess are running 12.2(18)SXD or earlier code.

Was there some point in the software versions for the Cat6500 where the Earl NDE Task process suddenly began using hardly any CPU utilization?

We have 6 catalyst 6500s, 2 of them are farly new, and 4 of them are fairly old, all of them have almost equal load and netflow is configured exactly the same. The only difference being the version of IOS. There is about a 15% CPU utilization difference in that task.

On a one with older code it hangs at around 15-17%, on a one with newer code it is 0-1%.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
