I am currently running a Cisco 7206vxr with NPE-G2 and 2GB. I am peaking at 200M of Internet traffic on one of the GigE ports with 40K pps aggregate. CPU over the last 72 hours looks like the following:
I am running BGP and taking 2 Full Routes from 2 different providers. I also have 3 OC-3's and 1 DS3 connected to the router. I am looking for what router I should look at upgrading to or if there is plenty of beef left in this one?
The ASR1k mentioned is for sure the nice upgrade path, *but*: - are you sure the load comes from interrupts, or there's some process that is eating CPU? check 'sh proc cpu sorted', or post it here - NPE-G2 reports CPU loads differently than NPE-G1 and other CPU-driven Cisco access platforms, so I'd say the 40-80% of CPU load is actually a comfort zone for it, as long as it's really a interrupt-driven operation under CEF - but if it would be, you should have rather 400kpps-800kpps range on the interfaces, not the 40kpps (can you show some drops from sh interfaces aggregated? the number seems very low even for feature-loaded software-processing platform) -- "There's no sense in being precise when | Łukasz Bromirski you don't know what you're talking | jid:[email protected] about."
