Hello everyone,
I will share with you how to deal with two direct connected devices ping time delay.
Physical Network Topology
Figure 1-1 Two direct connected devices ping time delay
Fault Description
When SwitchA pings SwitchB, the ICMP delay is very large. The specific information is as follows:
[CE12800_A]ping 111.111.1.3
PING 111.111.1.3: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break
Reply from 111.111.1.3: bytes=56 Sequence=1 ttl=255 time=52 ms

Reply from 111.111.1.3: bytes=56 Sequence=5 ttl=255 time=51 ms
When pinging with the -r parameter, the delay is very small, as follows:
[CE12800_A]ping -r 111.111.1.3
PING 111.111.1.3: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break

Troubleshooting Procedure
Step 1 Check that SwitchB receives the ICMP packet normally and finds that the packet has been sent from the chip to the CPU.
<CE12800_B>display cpu-defend statistics packet-type icmp slot 1/4
Statistics(packets) on slot 1/4 :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PacketType Total Passed Total Dropped Last Dropping Time
Last 5 Min Passed Last 5 Min Dropped
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
icmp 5 0 -
5 0
Step 2 Check whether the CPU receives ICMP packets and speed limit on the CPU. The details are as follows.
<CE12800_B>debugging ip icmp
Oct 21 2018 21:46:48.225 switch-C %PP4/7/icmp_packet(d):CID=0x8066274d;ICMP Receive: echo(Type=8, Code=0, Chksum=0xd3fe),IfIndex = 253, Vrf = 0, EventId = 0, Flag = 0x200, Src = 111.111.1.1, Dst = 111.111.1.3,ICMP Id = 0x2400, ICMP Seq = 0x1
Oct 21 2018 21:46:48.233 switch-C %PP4/7/icmp_packet(d):CID=0x8066274d;ICMP Send: echo-reply(Type=0, Code=0, Chksum=0xdbfe),IfIndex = 253, Vrf = 0, EventId = 0, Flag = 0x100200, Src = 111.111.1.3, Dst = 111.111.1.1,ICMP Id = 0x2400, ICMP Seq = 0x1
After ICMP debugging is enabled, it is found that no ICMP is sent to the CPU.
Step 3 Check whether the interface board fast returns ICMP packets.
<CE12800_B>display icmp fast-reply statistics slot 1/4
------------------------ Display ICMP Statistics -------------------------------
Received packets:
request packets: 5
invalid request packets: 0
failed to get vrf: 5
destination is not host ip: 0
failed to get ctrl word: 0
Send packets:
successful reply packets: 5
failed reply packets: 0
When the packet is ICMP fast return, the interface board processes the packets at the same time, and these data interface boards do not need to be processed.
Step 4 Turn off the ICMP echo-reply fast function.
[CE12800_B]icmp echo-reply fast disable
Step 5 Verify on SwitchA as follows.
<CE12800_A> ping 111.111.1.3
PING 111.111.1.3: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break
Reply from 111.111.1.3: bytes=56 Sequence=1 ttl=255 time=15 ms
Request time out
Reply from 111.111.1.3: bytes=56 Sequence=3 ttl=255 time=2 ms
Request time out
Reply from 111.111.1.3: bytes=56 Sequence=5 ttl=255 time=1 ms
--- 111.111.1.3 ping statistics ---
5 packet(s) transmitted
3 packet(s) received
40.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1/6/15 ms
The problem has been solved.
Root Cause
After the ICMP unreachable packet is not received funcion is enabled on the device, the packet is first processed by ICMP. After the packet is processed, the packet is sent to the CPU for processing. This causes excessive performance.
This is what I want to share with you, thank you!
