What was driving the high CPU utilization?

[frank.lu]

Our core router is showing more than 90% of CPU utilization and the SNMP Engine is taking more than 70% of the CPU cycle; I have gotten a Sniffer trace but from the core subnet, not really a lot from our NMS.

How can I find out the source for driving this high CPU utilization on SNMP Engine?
