latency observed on ping'ing loopback ip

Manish Kumar

Hi team,

We have 2 3945/15.0(1)M7 connected via gig interface to upstream routers (4 routers running MPLS BGP in core, dedicated for IP SLA probes) and we can ping physical interface IP just fine no delay but when ping loopback interface ping response time latency varies any where from 1 ms to 22 ms and we are looking for ways to find out if something in control plane of 3900 is causing this delay, any help is much appreciated.

Topology and config is like this

- no interface errors

- cpu is less than 5%

- no controller level errors

Please let me know if any information is required from devices.

thanks

Hi Manish,

I guess there should be some rate limiting in the RIB/CP for ICMP packet for loopback. Because when you say ping the loop back and if you enable the debug for icmp packets and routing... This will say src and dest as the same ip which is routed via the RIB.
