Some questions:

1. Do you see any packet loss? at any times?

2. Do you have any drops or errors on either of the interfaces?

Can you paste the output of :

show int <x> | in rror|drop|throt

for both your upstream and your core facing interfaces?

3. Do you also keep track of your CPU usage? do you get spikes in this
at particular times during the day which correspond to lagging?

4. What NPE are you using? and what IOS are you running?

5. Do you have any features like netflow/pbr/acls configured?


Dave.
