(High Ip input) on My router  , I need to troubleshoot why CPU is high !!!!
=================
i have a cisco router 7200 NPEG2 processor , worked as LNS for PPPOVPDN circuits (Router for ADSL clients)
i  have "high ip input on my processor" and there is alot of differnce on my router between operations done by cef and operations done by router cpu
as an example , lets make show cpu process sorted
CPU utilization for five seconds: 67%/54%; one minute: 67%; five minutes: 68%

=====================

as we see above , we have high "IP Input" about differnece in cpu =67-54=13 % , which is high value process in software .

i follwed the article here :
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/7500-series-routers/41160-highcpu-ip-input.html

i check and found that my router is fine , 
no arp calls.
no routing loops.
no flapping links.
i checked that my router has cef enabled and no enormous routing protocol updates

i found that i have big differnce between hardware & software process on the router which is 13 %
but when the traffic is more and more , the cpu reach reach 93 % and begin to have drops.

i just want to ask , how can i debug the operations that are done on the cpu processor of the router ???
i mean that if i know that traffic , i can estimate and know the problem  that increasing my cpu !!!

another question :

how to debug the packest that has a ttl exceeded 50 or ttl exceeded 100 ?????

i dont wan tto make debug ip packed , because i have a huge traffic and it will let my router hanged due to large debug !!
===============
righ now i will post my router config and some verification:

For starters "we have high "IP Input" about differnece in cpu =67-54=13 % " is incorrect.  The 13% is non-"interrupt" processing.  Your IP Input usage is shown as:

 PID Runtime(ms)     Invoked      uSecs   5Sec   1Min   5Min TTY Process 
  87    10837056    46891299        231  6.31%  6.04%  6.32%   0 IP Input        

Which is higher percentage than we would like, but a higher percentage might be "normal" for your "LNS for PPPOVPDN".

Just how much aggregate traffic is your router passing when it reaches about 93% and you start to experience drops?

BTW, a NPE-G2, in theory, is good for up to about 1.3 Gbps of minimum size wire-speed Ethernet, and that's without allowance for services and other CPU needs of the router.  I.e. A NPE-G2 doesn't guarantee wire-speed for even a single gig duplex link.  So, even if you cut your non-"interrupt' CPU utilization, you might need a "faster" router.

Hi,

thank you very much for your reply ,

 

i confess that it was a typo due to quick when i was typing the post  ,===> i mean that i have 13 % done in software which is in my  opinion a bad issue !!!!!

.... in the rush hours (when most of users are online , say 2000 ppovpn online  , with about 400-450 Mbps traffc) the  cpu is fire .....

it may reach 88 - 90 -93 the max ... @ that cpu some drops we have in the packets !!!!

 

the issue  of (high non interrupt traffic )  which some times reach 20 % is done due to changes in topology , but again i cant get back ... dont ask me to go back ...smiley

 

how can i debug the  traffic that done in my CPU software ( non interrrupt) , or how to debug if there is a lot of ttl expeired packets there ??

 

i googled alot with no benefit , agian ...  i believe that this 7200 npeg2 can handle more and more users..

my  problem is , i need to fix the (non interrupt ) traffic that is hitting my router ??!!!!

can  u guide me ?? do u have a powerfull tools ??

any help ??

Cisco does have some whitepapers on troubleshooting CPU performance issues, but I suspect your performance isn't so much caused by some misconfiguration or problem, but, again, it's just caused by the nature of your traffic.  For example, I notice you have mss-adjust 1412 on your virtual-template and that implies a whole bunch of possible CPU issues (not the command itself, but dealing with packets larger than possible MTU).

BTW, "mean that i have 13 % done in software which is in my  opinion a bad issue !!!!!", yes any non-fast-path process may be an issue, but pretty much all processing on a NPE is done in software; it's just a question of how efficiently.

Also BTW, although a NPE-G2 in theory has 2x the performance of a NPE-G1, if you search these forums, it seems some have otherwise experience.  (NB: the NPE-G2 is a different architecture from the other NPEs.)

We'll see if anyone else can other help, but I also suspect you may need to consider you need a more "powerful" router for your traffic load.  In the 7200 family, there is a more "powerful" "engine" than the NPE-G2, the NSE-1 (I mention this to possibly preserve as much of your existing hardware).  However, it's not faster in all areas, and it's long been end-of-sale.

thank you both for your replies ... agian ... the cpu is not natural , im sure that it was better with same traffic and same users.

can i start anything that can decrease my cpu ??

should i change mtu to 1500 ???

upgrade ios ?

any other suggestion ??

 

could the high "ip input" value can be due to routing loop issue ??

 

 

any help ?

Why, oh why, are you running an IOS with the "T" train?   

 

Can you try upgrading your IOS using the "M" train?

with "T" train it was working like a charm ... but  recently it has a higher cpu due to topology changes !!!

 

can u help me investigating the "non interrupt " traffic ?

can some one determin if :

hiii all ,

 

well i just want to share info that i got collected.

 

it seems that 7200 LNS with about 400 M traffic and with about 2000 users  cant handle all operations in hardware===> this mean that  that some cef punts must occurs.

 

 

i think this is my answeto my question , my question was why about 20 % differ between hardware and software handling.

 

 

no problem in my topology  no errors i have.

 

 

we are migrating to add more LNS routers .

 

 

thanks alot for all replies

 

with my best regards

Hello 

 

CPU utilization for five seconds: 67%/54%; one minute: 67%; five minutes: 68%

 

This means that the overall CPU is 67% .... and 54% is due to interrupt 

 

usually interrupt are traffic related issue and the most common cause is hardware limitation ....according to router performance document provided by cisco this router capable up to 1024 mbps in the idle cases i.e router with no features .... so the most common cause is hardware limitation and you should consider hardware upgrade or offload the traffic to another router
