Yes, but mainly there are mpls vpn subscriber.

Ok this is clear, but what i can't understand is why cpu goes down after the clear and then in a couple of days it goes up again...
I think this could be ok if you look at memory, but non on cpu side.
However i try to tune some bgp timer and tcp path mtu discovery...
