This can happen in multicast environments where there is a large number of Multicast Listener Discovery messages impacting the control-plane and data plane, when IPv6 MLD is enabled. You can follow the link here and it will go over configuration steps to correct the issue.
Let me know if this helps, as well as the results.
Thanks.
