[c-nsp] TCP Timer 70% CPU

[Chris Knipe]

Hi,

Saw 4 sessions that was down and "sh tcp" showed thousands of
connections in a CLOSEWAIT state to those neighbors.  I presume that's
my culprit.

I shutted the neighbors that was down, but the connections are still
in an CLOSEWAIT - looking now to see about resetting them.  CPU usage
for the process is slowly starting to come down though, presumably the
connections are timing out and not being re-created.

Many thanks,
Chris.
