DNS Application uses more DP CPU utilization

L3 Networker

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.

 

Mem-Pool-Type MaxSz(KB) Threshold MinSz(KB) CurSz(B) Cur.Alloc Total-Alloc Fail-Thresh Fail-Nomem Local-Reuse(cache)
dns 2048 80023 1024 830152 10012 279410 0 0 23472 (5)

 

Cache-Type MAX-Entries Cur-Entries Cur.SZ(B) Insert-Failure Mem-Pool-Type
dns 7936 0 0 0 proxy
dns_v4 10000 10000 829576 0 dns
dns_v6 10000 0 0 0 dns

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.
