NI H (Network Interface HISR) is the pseudo-task, that receives and performs all preliminary processing of packets received by the main CPU from line cards. If the packet is to be switched or routed, this task does it, including setup of L2 and L3 flows. Packets destined to various applications within the system (telnet, snmp, vrrp, ospf, bgp, etc.) are passed to the appropriate task for processing. This process handles all the interrupts associated with the NIA (Network Interface ASIC).

This makes sense as L3_AGE_T is the layer three aging task that ages out flows from the hardware. Since all flows age out after 30 seconds of inactivity, this task has to run fairly frequently and is often near the top of the list in configurations with L3 interfaces.
