ProxySG CPU monitor showing high CPU in HTTP

Issue/Introduction

Why is the CPU Monitor on the ProxySG reporting high CPU utilization in HTTP?

Resolution

The most common reason for seeing high CPU in HTTP is because of load due to a routing loop or too many incoming requests. 

Using the management console, verify the bandwidth using the Statistics->Traffic Mix section.  Confirm if the processed bandwidth for the SG is "typical" for  the ProxySG or if it corresponds to the CPU spikes.  If there is a correlation, lower the amount of bandwidth that the ProxySG processes and see if the CPU drops.
