Hi Dennis,
That's exactly what i also said to my colleague who did "clear ppp queues".
But according to his sayings and to our graphs the cpu problem was resolved just afterwards.
I don't know if this was just a coincidence.
Also after a while (or maybe at the same time but we hadn't noticed it) we had another problem.
The vpdn tunnel which was terminating to this 7200 couldn't accept any more L2TP sessions. It was
like incoming ppp was blocked (continuesly "LCP: O CONFREQ" with no answer from the peer). We had to
tear down the tunnel manually in order to make it work again.
This 7200 is using 12.2(12b).
