Hi Experts,
Good Day!
I encounter suddenly an issue in the 6509 series router with an IOS version of s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-vz.122-18.SXF10.bin.
We are now encountering a high CPU utilization which is shown below and when I checked the possible cause, the processes "ios-base" and "iprouting.iosproc" and sometimes the "kernel" processes have the high utilization.
I would like to seek help what are the possible causes why those processes has that level of utilization that may cause the utilization of the router?

I can feel now a little log when I'm accessing the CLI of the router.
Thanks for the great help guys.
