Hi All,

Well, after this thread I still didn't know which version I should
choose for our 960 with MPC's only.
>From what I read it was; In the field (Ras, Raphael) we see 10.3r3 as
the better choice, and people who talk to JTAC say 10.4r2 is the
better choice.

(Of course it depends on configuration and config.)

But we chose to upgrade to 10.3r3, and installed the version this morning.
The upgrade seemed to have gone smooth, but after all BGP sessions had
been re-established, and prefixes re-learnt the CPU stayed at 100%.

Dropping to shell I saw rpd consuming 99% CPU.
Looking at task accounting and rtsockmon I saw no obvious causes.
A failover to the backup RE had no effect, the new master RE consumed
100% within a couple of minutes.

A colleague of mine did a trace of the process saw that the cycles are
being consumed by "getrusage" system calls.

Tomorrow morning we'll try to restart routing, if that has no effect
we will try 10.4r2.

I'll post tomorrow our findings..

Bas
