I've seen high CPU before, but never in time to discern whether the
CPU was cause or effect ... just this afternoon I was able to catch
one of the outages in time to cross-check multiple places, mainly the
logs and cpu history, which clearly showed that the egg was there
before the hen - or rather, 100% cpu for ~2min followed by the LDP
(and other) outages ... problem is, I can't yet pin-point the cause of
the CPU load - guess I will have to set up a cron job to pull "show
proc cpu sort 5min" outputs every couple minutes and check which
process is the cause for the cpu load ... hopefully ... (even as I
prepare to drop the 7200's from the essential places, I even see 10%
cpu at the same time on the ASR routers, which is pretty high compared
to the ~1% they usually have ... so I want to solve the problem cause,
not the effect ...)

Tnx, garry
