Hello,
I am having this problem with a RB1100. It started about 1 month ago. I can watch the traffic pass across the router and in a fairly regular pattern the traffic just stops for a second or so and then resumes. If I run a continus ping through the router during these times the latency on the ping will increase several hundred, or the packet will be dropped with a "request timed out". I have also noticed that if I watch the CPU useage, during these times it will bump up to 99% or 100%, and then drop back down to 20% or 50%.
I can't figure out what is causing this. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Attached is a .jpeg image showing the traffic across the the ethernet ports. You can see the regular dips in traffic.
Thanks,
Dustin
