Thanks for all the answers!

I already have the filter to protect the loopback interface.

Can you send me some examples or recomendation to this filter?

Regards,

Daniel

This traffic wasn't dropped in your loopback filter already? Do you have a
loopback filter? Any traffic destined for interfaces on the router will be
sent to the RE for interpretation, regardless of running services on the
system. If you want to prevent this behaviour, add filter terms to the
loopback filter... simple, and it gets dropped on the inbound interface
instead of the RE, which has limited bandwidth from the interfaces toward
it.
