Hi, Thanks for the input, there doesn't seem to be any applicable rate-limit that I can spot to be honest. You can limit the rate that flows are 'expired' but this only limits the cache element, not the exporting element I believe.
Also, none of the loads look 'challenging' for the hardware compared to the throughput/capacity it could potentially be dealing with (this box only has like 8G of throughput on it. Unless anyone else has any ideas then I'll probably go to TAC with this, as it seems ludicrous that an edge device like this can capture flows at a rate way beyond that which it can export them...

I can confirm that our 9k's suffer from this also. The last I checked you can export at the rate of 2000 flows/sec.
