Mikrotik X86 System Process going High

Hi Friends,

From last week and so, i am having an issue that siddenly for 2 to 3 hours my mikrotik system process is going from 30% to 90% and i check in profiles, there is mainly networking process is over utilise upto 80%.

i am having around 10 Gbps of traffic in it all the time.

Can anyone suggest me something.


Thanks,

Do you normally have 10 Gbps of traffic going through the router? If not, what type of traffic is it?

We are an Internet Service Provider and 10 gbps is normal traffic. i have 3 mikrotik routers handle same amount of traffic.
but i am confused why only one router having this issue.

what kind/nature of traffic you talk about? ie protocol/port/pps combo atleast.
did you shield router from NTPAmp and DNSAmp attacks from outside, btw?

what hardware are you using ?
Motherboard/ cpu
