[j-nsp] Strange behaviour on a M10...

[Carlos Friacas]

Hello,

We're experiencing a strange behaviour in one of our M10s.

The router (which is handling the full routing table) seems to keep 
forwarding packets, but it's almost impossible to telnet to it, and it 
shows 70% packet loss when pinging to a directly connected router. It 
also shows 5x times higher latency on the 30% of well suceeded ICMPs. 
Using the console, the processor and the routing engine levels of 
processing seem to be low and ok. I'm currently using 7.6R4, and also
tried 8.2R2 and 7.6R3.

Already skimmed through Juniper's problem reports, and i can't find 
anything simmilar. At the moment i'm not fully sure the origin of this 
isn't an attack, because the behaviour is not uniform/constant...

Has anyone seen anything close to this?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
