RE: [nsp] GSR GE-LC Input Queuing

That it is. I am seeing controller traffic from the GE-LC destined to null0
incrementing at a steady rate. I was thinking it was bogus traffic (no
route, mad checksum, etc.) Never saw it increment this way. It would be
nice is Ci$co would do a extensive interface listing, instead of making
people learn 36 commands to check the status of an interface.

Thanks to Mark and Danny for pointing me in the right direction.

Regards,
chris

This is probably CSCdr91482.

If you attach to the LC and do a debug ip cef drops -- which will
probably crash the LC :( you'll see various packets being dropped
 like spanning tree BPDU's that should of been silently ignored.
