Thank you for all your replys !
Sorry for the lack of more info .
There are 12000s, with 12.0+ IOS , has one or more
EBGP peers and 10+ IBGP .
Customer gave us continuous ping and pinpoint this 60s
thing .

I think Chris Konger is right .
We will put more memory and enable CEF on the line
cards to see if its better .
