What's the software version on the 7604, Sup model and LCs used?

Can you show output of 'show platform hardware capacity' for the
box and 'sh proc cpu sorted'. Also 'sh ip pim int x/y count'
where the ports that multicast traffic is flowing through?

Clearly there's a problem with moving traffic in hardware.

Can you also drop a 'show ip mroute count' from both boxes?
