Do you have a lot of ARP traffic on the network? I ran into an issue
recently when the internal hosts pointed to their own interface as their
default gateway as opposed to the router's IP address. This was causing
excessive CPU utilization related to the ARP processing.

Hi Vishal,

Can you try disabling the " ip accounting" feature for a while and see
if
