ASR1002 BGP - High cpu

bozo.bogd
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

 

We were planing internet access router migration from some old device to new Cisco ASR1002.

 

During first attempt of migration we faced an issue with HIGH CPU utilization after first eBGP peering connection established.

 

Bgp peering loaded full internet routing table (716403) prefix in 3, 3 and a half minutes.

Afterwords CPU shows high "IP RIB Update" for 4-5 minutes and than it calmed down.

Basically it takes 7-8 minutes for one BGP peering to be established and router to be stable and responsive.

 

Later on we realized that "IP RIB Update" means CEF populating which goes mush slower than BGP routes populating.

 

Router#show ip cef summary
IPv4 CEF is enabled for distributed and running
VRF Default
 716493 prefixes (716493/0 fwd/non-fwd)
 Table id 0x0
 Database epoch:        2 (716493 entries at this epoch)

 

 

 

We don't expect it to be same speed but this slowness and CPU utilization which makes router almost not responsive is not expected.

 

For testing purpose we tried simple config in global routing table and VRF, result is the same.

 

I ll paste version and config, if you can have a look and suggest solution which maybe we have overseen.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Regards,

On the ASR, your BGP peering setup might be sped up by enabling PMTUD and also by setting the router's host RWIN to at least 64KB (NB: this assuming the defaults don't enable or have lower values).

As to an ASRs high CPU during initial BGP peering, that might be because the ASRs generally have "special" hardware to improve data plane performance, but it may depend solely on the CPU for control plane. (I believe the ASRs might be much, in general architecture concept, like the earlier 7300 with a NSE or 7200 with the NSE-1.)

Dear Joseph,

 

PMTUD didn't brought any difference.

 

 

You also adjusted the router's TCP RWIN?

Yes, I did. No differences

Hello,

 

on a side note, you seem to have an empty OSPF process running ('router ospf 1'), can you remove that ?

Yes i can, but that doesn't make any difference still.
