[j-nsp] Massive ICMP test. Could it generate problems?

[mark at glassbil.net]

Hi,

Still rather new to Juniper and only have a basic knowledge
over how it works. But i have heard that when im doing massive
ping test from a Juniper i could disturb "live" traffic. I can´t
really find a simple answer to what or how this is.

Question:
Could a massive ping test from a Juniper (M160 in this case) cause
disturbance in the orignal traffic flow / processes in a M160?

Say you have 4 sessions and running 4 x rapid ping with 5000 bytes.
Could this overload the RE? Or the bus?

Thanx for any replys.
