Thanks for your prompt reply.

I didn't have time to wait, and I reloaded the router, it is back up with
a more acceptable CPU rate.

From What I previously noticed, the process which were using high CPu rate
were:
        * IP Input (#5%)
        * BGP Something (Router or I/O or Scanner)

I will check this.

Yes, it always does, thanks.
