CASA C3200 CPU Utilization

Hi,

does anybody of you know or could check the "CPU utilization" on the CASA C3200 CMTS? We are using two of them right now.
On both of them is approx 900 modems, but the difference is in the subscriber's packets/bandwidth.

On one of them, we have the "biggest" packet 25/5Mbit and half of the subscribers are on that 25/5 packet. There we have just 4 DS bonding channels.
On the other CMTS is the highest packet 300/15 Mbit and also half of the subscribers have that packet. There we have 8 DS bonding channels, and in some MAC DOMAIN also 16 DS bonding channels.

I notice the major difference in CPU utilization. On the CMTS which has the highest packet 25/5 is the CPU utilization approx. 20% constantly.
On the CMTS who has 300/15 is the CPU utilization approx 60%, with the peak even to 80%!

I don't find the reason for that difference, except in the subscriber's packet and in the number of DS bonding channels.
What do you think about that? Could that be the reason?

What are you experience regarding the CPU utilization?

Why on the CMTS2 is much more sshd process with even sshd user with %CPU? I think that this is also something strange? The difference is also in system and nice %.

Thanks in advance, 0603
