[c-nsp] BGP Scanner running amok

[Gordon Bezzina]

Hi,

Following yesterday's issue with BGP full feed, I have updated the IOS from
SRD3 to SRE1 on the
Cisco 7606 (RSP720-3CXL). The BGP continuous resets have been resolved but
now I have a mad
BGP Scanner.

It is running constantly consuming over 60% of my CPU.

also it is sending lots and lot of updates to a number of my peers.
Basically
I have a particular peer who was sent 6,000,000 updates in 6 hours!

Did anyhow experiencing something similar?
