[cisco-bba] Low bandwidth throuput on 7206 acting as LNS

Hi,

we're working on a test szenario to terminate a small number of PPPoE
users comming in through a l2tp tunnel. It seems that all works fine
(l2tp tunnel is comming up, authentication and accounting against
Freeradius server will work) except the low bandwidth throughput problem.

As LNS we run a Cisco 7206 nonVXR with NPE-200, 96 MB RAM and 1
FE-Interface. LAC is provided and maintained by our upstream telco. I
know they run a Cisco 7206 VXR with NPE-G1.

During the test setup there was only one customer connected to the lns.
(2 Mbit/s down, 192 kbit/s up) Throughput after terminating the session
on the lns was ~ 180 kbit/s down and ~ 160 kbit/s up.

Any ideas how to fix this? Does someone see things which I doesn't see?




Thanks,
Thomas
