[c-nsp] 1800/2800/3800 series

[Brian Vowell]

We were running both a 2811 and a 2821 with BGP, IPS, CBAC, and ACL's, 
and it crashed at least three or four times per day.  I currently have 
ten or eleven cases open and logged against a bug in the CBAC code that 
is currently assigned to the development engineer.

The only thing that we could do to stop these crashes was to disable 
both IPS and CBAC on the router.

I'd recommend that you stick with something more stable like a 2621XM 
until a few more releases come out to fix this problem, unless you want 
to be doing QA for Cisco with your network.

Regarding throughput, we max out at about 73 mbps on the 2821 on a 
single gigabit interface.  Anything above that, and the router starts 
dropping packets and we lose our BGP sessions when the BGP packets get 
dropped.  I need to do some work to setup some QoS for BGP to make sure 
that doesn't happen.  (Our peering and transit are on the same interface).
