high CPU utilization

[blue4cisco]

we hv cisco router 2521. it shows 95 to 99% cpu utilization when it recives udp broadcast to declare result of lottery system to all hosts.during that time it give high latency & RTOs for 1 to 2 minutes as our result is broadcasted on every 15 minutes at which router shows latency & high cpu utilization ,,why so ?

Hi,

what is dram and flash memory size and how many host has working via thri router?

Below is details of router hardware & the peak time around 700 users connect to the router:

cisco 2520 (68030) processor (revision M) with 14336K/2048K bytes of memory.

Processor board ID 03851311, with hardware revision 00000002

Bridging software.

X.25 software, Version 3.0.0.

Basic Rate ISDN software, Version 1.1.

1 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface(s)

2 Serial network interface(s)

2 Low-speed serial(sync/async) network interface(s)

1 ISDN Basic Rate interface(s)

32K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.

16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY)

below the stat of cpu when result is broadcasted :

CPU utilization for five seconds: 99%/39%; one minute: 90%; five minutes: 74%

23 80768484 14081200 5735 54.29% 52.48% 43.41% 0 IP Input

Hi

The best possible fix for ip input crisis is enabling ip cef on global mode.

But i am afraid whether your router's ios can support cef.

Try enabling the command ip cef under global mode and check .

Dear

U can refer to following links based on your condition

Please paste the full output of " Show proccess CPU " and " Show process memory "

plz find attaced file of cpu proc.

[amit-singh]

Hi,

Try

conf t

ip cef

Try enabling " ip route-cache " under all the interfaces.

Check the below link:

Also, Scan your LAn for any worm/viruses.

hi,

as u see in sh proc cp- the ip input is the major thing.

what is the traffic-rate during that time?

(sh int e0).

is this a new application or was it in the past ok ?

a 25xx router has not that performance to handle e.g. 10mb/s -

[rpsunbeam]

check your buffers

if you have a high influx of traffic and your buffers are low/default, you may be causing the router to create memory buffers at the same time it is receiving a high influx of traffic.

do a sho buff and post the results.

hi,

Below is buffer output: when thr is no much load on the router: Plz tell me what i need to clear & configure. I am attaching router configuration file also

Try removing "ip route-cache flow" from "interface Serial1"
