We've brought this concern up to Cisco before and they assured us that everything is performing normally. You will see this when performing router to router pings as well however, we have been told that packet forwarding does not suffer. ICMP replies from the router (not through the router) are given a very low CPU priority.
Seconded. Ping response times or lack of ping response from routers signifies *nothing*. Ditto for traceroutes, &c. Ping *through* the router, not *to* the router.
We do streaming, and this causes a freeze up both in and out bound. In bound there seem to be losses. Outbound all is buffered and nothing is lost.
pinging the router causes a freeze-up? or the router is freezing up on bgp updates every n seconds? platform/release ? ---rob
