[nsp] AS5300 loosing memory

[Siva Valliappan]

Hi Jay,

   you end users might be infected with blaster or some variant (sobig,
nachi, etc).  it sounds like you are fast-switching on those routers
and they are consuming all the available memory in building cache
tables.

check the below url out on how to deal with such types of worms.
