Information
The output for show memory displays the memory usage of the line-card
processor (LP) part (sysdlp) of the system. The sysdlp is an aggregate task that
handles all the tasks running on the LP.
The total counter size in show memory and show processes memory differs
based on which OS processes are counted.
• In the show memory output, the memory size is equal to the size of the
application processes.
• In the show processes memory output, the memory size is equal to the size
of the application processes plus the size of the system processes.
