"Hardware too slow error" - packets arrive in short bursts at line rate,
and your router cannot handle that.

For example, an NPE-G1 will handle packets at, say, 300 mbit/sec if they
come in evenly spaced - packet<pause>packet<pause>packet<pause> - but if
1000 packets arrive back-to-back and then a longer pause, it will overrun
the buffers.

There's not much you can do, except "get a hardware forwarding box" 
or "just accept it, and only worry if the errors increase more frequently".

We do some of both :-)
