Process Switching out on an ATM PVC in MLPPP bundle

David Williams

Level 1

I've been monitoring some behavior on a few MLPPP over ATM/FR bundles that we have.  I've noticed that on the show atm pvc 0/x command that there is a large percentage of process switched packets compared to Fast Switched packets.  This is built up on a 7206VXR with the following specs.

NPE-G1

PA-A3-OC3MM=

c7200-k91p-mz.122-31.SB17.bin

Can someone help me understand if this is normal?  I would have thought there would be much more Fast Switched packets then Process Switched and if this is not normal I would like to try to figure out what is wrong.

Not familar with the output from that command. The common way to look at switching path stats for IOS is "show int stats" which will show how many packets hit each switching path on an interface.
