Hl3u bkgrd process - manages quite a few background tasks like...
- Hardware Arp throttling house keeping tasks
- Retry adjs/Fib in case of an out of hardware resource condition
- sending out gratuitous arps in certain scenarios like master switchover
- proxy arp house keeping functions
- ICMP redirect processing
- TTL ICMP error generation in some conditions
- handling correct route forwarding in an output acl full condition
Workaround:
- Eliminate source of ARP Incomplete entries
- Downgrading to 12.2(55)SE train might help
- In 15.0.2 train, we can disable the ARP retry feature enhancement which is causing high CPU byusing the command "no ip arp incomplete enable"
