CPU Traffic • For IP, packets are sent to the RP in the following situations Packets matching the router’s own IP address No route found on the line card and “ICMP unreachable” is enabled Packets with TTL = 0 after TTL decrement Packets with options Packets in/out on the same i/f and ICMP redirect is on ARP packets Certain multicast/broadcast packets (e.g. OSFP route updates) 1106 1034_05F9_c1
