[c-nsp] Cisco 2811 performance issue - dual(new) isp

Hmmm.  Well, there are a few variables.  If one site does give you good
results, then the router might not be totally at fault.  You are getting
'ignore' errors on the interface with CBAC enabled, that's definitely
slowing things down, as you're getting re-transmits and TCP window starting
small again.   Just curious, what does 'sh buffer' output look like?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Chuck

Chuck,

 

Interesting. Not sure why it was so low.  I switched back to this new ISP
conn on fa0/1 tonight and ran some more tests. Below is various output
immediately after testing. The second set of show outputs is after I applied
CBAC inbound and a generic deny extended access list outbound on fa0/1. The
CBAC is definitely raising my cpu, as expected.

Performance is still low in my opinion, at least with testing on most "test"
sites. The only site that gave me great results was speakeasy.net.

Are you sure your NAT/PAT statements are right?  I think you said in an
earlier email this output below was done right after the speedtest.
However, the 5 minute load interval for fa0/1 shows only 1 pps output on
this interface.  The input packets look like all ARP, based on the int
switching info.  Is your traffic really going out the original circuit?
