It's IP traffic going through the router. But there can be many reasons why
the utilization is high. Some of those are:

Access lists
NAT
a DOS occurring
a poor configuration - disabled route-cache, etc
Older IOS version which doesn't support fast switching of certain traffic
types.

Here's a pretty good doc on it:

the cpu usuage is under 10%. But for the last couple of hours it's like
below. I am wondering what kind of traffic can be so 'powerful', and what
does pid 19 (see below) mean. Can anyone shed some light?
