High CPU load

[Tapio Haapala]

I had same kind problem some years a go. Problem was that I accidentaly 
miscofigure bgp session so that one of peers was connected to ip what 
was announced via other hop. That caused route flapping and full 
internet table flapping at that router -> 100% cpu load and 10-100Mbps 
bgp traffic.
