NPE-G1 flushes and ignored packets

jerry.bonner
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

About two weeks ago I made some small changes to my router config that adjusted the ospf link cost on two interfaces to better balance some traffic. Ever since then multiple interfaces will sporadically (several times an hour) register ignored packets and queue flushes. These ignored packets seem to be occurring at the same time on different interfaces across the router.

From what I understand these are due to SPD drops. But is there only one SPD queue, or multiple queues per interface? If theres only one SPD queue for the RP, then I guess that could explain the simultaneous errors.

Can anyone provide any tips or shed any light on whats going on here?

Thanks in advance,

~jerry

I've seen a similar issue on the G1 when BGP conducts it scan. (Work around was to increase inbound queue size.) Check if CPU history showing any 100% spikes.
