Does this happen also if you walk only the interface tables? What size is
your routing table?

The routing table has approx. 200k entries. I've to correct my
statement. I don't walk over the RoutingTable.

It's only an interface table walk (IF-MIB). bsnmpd consumes approx.
6-10% cpu. I already have significant packet loss if bsnmpd is started.

bsnmpd not running:

ping www.switch.ch

--- oreius.switch.ch ping statistics ---
44 packets transmitted, 44 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 6.825/7.425/8.007/0.252 ms

zero packet loss.


netstat -w 1 shows no error.

bsnmpd started:

netstat shows some errors too.

A snmpwalk makes it a bit worse but not much. I already have packet loss
if bsnmpd is just started without any walks.
