DNS Application uses more DP CPU utilization

Hi,

We are facing issue with DNS Application, it uses more DP CPU Utilization 60 to 70%.

We have done DNS Application override but no luck.

Please find the DNS Session details below.

dns 2048 80023 1024 830152 10012 279410 0 0 23472 (5)

How to reduce the DNS session count or any other alternative way to overcome this issue?

Any help here would be appreciated.

@karthikeyanBHave you checked if it is valid traffic? Do you have internal DNS in your environment?

Also you can verify below article to reduce DP Plane CPU.
