We saw a signficant routing flap tonight, that resulted in some
of our ebgp speaking routers running out of memory.
On closer inspection, the routers all have enough memory
(128M, with 40M or so free) but the largest free contiguous
block is very small on routers that have been up for a year
or so. Has anyone seen this?
I've always believed that cisco routers do not require a
"theraputic" reboot, but the data I'm looking at now suggests
otherwise. (I rebooted one of these routers that had run out
of memory, and it's largest contiguous block is much larger
now.)
Here's one of the more unhealthy routers that ran out of memory:
--------------------
11.1.25cc
show mem
Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b)
Processor 60AD9EE0 122839328 82389772 40449556 145788 4194368
Fast 60AB9EE0 131072 115000 16072 16072 16028
router uptime is 43 weeks, 17 hours, 46 minutes
