You didn't say if you were taking a full BGP feed or not, but if that 1 feed is full, then I suspect your running out of RAM since the NPE-300 maxes out at 256M RAM. If you need BGP on the cheap in that router, I would guess you could get an NPE-400 which will at least handle 512M RAM, and even today I suspect should take a full BGP feed. Without a doubt the G1 and G2's are a much better solution, but also much more costly. Setup logging, or at least a buffered log, and see what shows up after the spike, I'd almost bet it's bitching about memory, but that would just be my personal guess. I used to have a 7206/NPE-300 years ago, and before the routing table got this large, it worked fine..
