Re: [c-nsp] ASR1000 QFP/ESP utilization
Thanks, it does seem like it's more of a CPU load than a % of the maximum bandwidth your ESP is capable of. I guess I'll just watch the bps counters along with the TailDrops in the other command output.

The processing load (percentage) is quite low, as ESP CPU may not be tasked with lot of things to do on the traffic itself. Depending on the features configured you may be either higher or lower. -- "There's no sense in being precise when | Łukasz Bromirski you don't know what you're talking | jid:lbromir...@jabber.org about."

Re: [c-nsp] ASR1000 QFP/ESP utilization
Not to totally hijack this, but this seems like a good thing to monitor. Does anyone know the OID for getting the ESP throughput referenced below?

[c-nsp] ASR1000 QFP/ESP utilization
All, We're deploying ASRs now, our first bunch were 1002 last year, and many more 1002X this year. I've been looking at ESP utilization, since our first few were ordered incorrectly with ESP5. The command "show platform hardware qfp active datapath utilization" mentioned here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/cisco/nsp/169123 seems to indicated the last line will give you your utilization of the ESP. I took that as meaning the % of BW against your ESP limit such as 5 gigabit in this case. Our two I'm looking at (both running 3.7.4) look like this (bottom 3 lines): Total (pps) 344698 357155 334210 340850 (bps) 2266105832 2329040800 2187654192 223908 Processing: Load (pct) 4 5 4 4 The % listed is 4 or 5, yet the bps total seems to be about 2.2 gigabit, or approaching half of what the ESP5 should be able of doing. Should I just use the bps line and ignore the processing load line? I'm not sure what it's indicating a percentage of. The total bps line matches up pretty well with the 5 minute input count of all interfaces.
