[j-nsp] srrd process

451m here on an MX104 running 14.2:

 2269 root             1  40    0   451M   445M select  36:07  0.00% srrd

Looks to be the sampling daemon:

With Junos OS Release 15.1F2 and later, when inline sampling is enabled on
MX Series-based FPC, the srrd (Sampling Route-Record Daemon) process would
be created to maintain, collect and export JFLOW records. On a regular time
intervals, the srrd scans through the sampling database for any
update/change in the record. In a scaled environment with more route churn,
for example 1.14M routes, the scan process might hog CPU for more than
2.5sec which leads to FPC crash. In some situations, the scan process can
run for longer time without causing FPC crash, but it can cause BFD
sessions to flap. PR1158154
