It is the basic flaw of the Puma 6 and occurs every 20 to 30 seconds. The processor interrupts whatever protocol stuff it is doing in order to clear itself down having got too much to do and too little resource with which to do it.
The Puma 6 CPU is the Intel Atom 4100; a single core processor running at 1.4GHz. You couldn't get a cheaper version of Puma 6. And only single core. Displacement of the ICMP processing to the comms chip slightly improves the Puma 6's real data processing bandwidth but not to any significant extent.
The BQM is, to my mind, a false positive.
