[c-nsp] Huawei NE40E-X3 vs Cisco AS9K

[Kevin Loch]

70% seems *really* high an for rsp720.  Are you sure it's
not a sup720?  The two have vastly different cpu performance
(about 10x it seems).  I have several rsp720 with many full
bgp transit feeds + peer routes and my typical cpu usage is
only 10%. What IOS image are you running and what else are
you doing on this box besides bgp that could be eating cpu?

I had one rsp720 recently (curiously the only one I have
seen with 4g ram instead of 2g) that had 70% cpu usage after
a few bgp sessions came up.  The 'show ibc' output indicated
several hundred thousand pps to and from the RP so something
was obviously wrong.  Swapped out with a different rsp720
and everything was fine (10% cpu, 100pps on IBC).
