Hey Karl,

Do you have large connected subnet, largely empty?

I believe 'resolve' is packet needing ARP resolution. I.e. you got
packet to subnet address 192.0.2.42, but it did not have MAC address,
so it could not be forwarded, but had to be punted to software for ARP
resolution. Because it involves software it is ratelimited.

Be glad it exists, for longest time resolve packets hit the DDoS
policer of their protocol so if someone was hitting 192.0.2.42 with
BGP packets, it hit your BGP policer, and would bring your core iBGP
down, and there was nothing you could do to protect from it (resolve
is not subject to lo0, for obvious reasons). 4Mbps was all it took.
