The CPU on the VIP is normal for this amount of traffic. VIPs will quite
happily run at
99% CPU without performance degradation.

What is of interest is the number of ignores and overruns. This is a
result of the VIP
unable to handle traffic bursts at line rate. If the interface counters
are consistent,
this equates to around 0.4% packet loss - probably concentrated around
peak
utilisation times. If this is acceptable or within your network SLA,
then you really
don't have a problem - at least, not yet.......
