using ASR1006 here, had 2 automatic reboots last friday which is not a
good sign.

System image file is
"bootflash:/asr1000rp1-adventerprisek9.02.04.02.122-33.XND2.bin"
Last reload reason: Critical software exception, check

last thing i always see before boom,

i am starting to feel ASR1000 series' software is not yet ready for
primetime, but there are newer software available, will try that first
and if it still fails, then i'll cancel all ASR1000 orders.

Anyone using ASRs?  We are demoing one to possibly upgrade our 7206s.
We are seeing what looks like a memory leak on the RP.  Cisco is looking
at it and says they haven't seen it before.  I am wondering if anyone
else has run across this.  With the default 2G of memory the RP only had
about 1% free memory, and the router was rebooting every 5 days or so
when the RP ran out.  We upgraded and now have about 60% free on the RP,
but I still see the used memory incrementing at a pretty steady rate.
We are running IOS-XE 12.2(33)XNF.



The router is currently not even routing traffic, just acting as a BGP
peer so it has one set of full tables.  It seems to be a process on the
Linux OS side that has the leak as the IOS memory commands show
everything staying pretty static.

I am using a few 1002's and I am not seeing that issue. I will get you the
IOS train later.
