I had same kind problem some years a go. Problem was that I accidentaly miscofigure bgp session so that one of peers was connected to ip what was announced via other hop. That caused route flapping and full internet table flapping at that router -> 100% cpu load and 10-100Mbps bgp traffic. 8.4.2015, 13:18, Simone Morandini kirjoitti:
Hello list,
we are running BIRD on our IXP peering platform with no problems since quite a while now. We need to activate a new peer which is expected to announce a considerable amount of prefixes (~100k), and the first try resulted in having nearly 100% cpu load, ~60-70% for BIRD and the remaining for syslog. The machine was hardly manageable, so after a few minutes we had to disable the peer and restart the deamon.
The current settings actually make BIRD log everything: log "/var/log/bird.log" all; log syslog all;
so I guess we could start by modifying it: any advice on this? Would you suggest something more, in order to avoid having again a high cpu load?
Thanks in advance, Simone.
