[nsp] NAT spiking CPU

[Christopher J. Wolff]

Hello,

Just ran into an interesting situation where, when the public side of a
NAT connection goes down, the router CPU spikes to 100%, effectively
restricting all traffic flow inside the network.  This is a 2611XM
router.  Has anyone seen this happen?  Thank you in advance.
