>From what i can see here , it is a IP Input process.Chunk can not be
allocated when the box is running out of memory, the memory is fragmented
from the malloc(),  free() functions or if the malloc() function wants to
allocate 0 size of chunk. It is also possible that the memory was bit
fragmented and there were many DHCP requests send on the box.

I have seen silimiar chunk problem on 3825 running EzVPN server
