Router not using all available bandwidth?

iggiggitoo

Level 1

I am having trouble with a T1 connection between a cisco 7200VXR and cisco 2600. I have no problem connecting across it, but when I run a download across the link I get a flat 6KB/s. I can't seem to find what is wrong in my configuration that would be causing this.

Maybe this is the reason?

Sometimes It takes another set of eyes to look at it, I made the mistake of reading 0 CRC on the 2600 side and didn't even pay attention to the 7200 CRC stats.

Thank you, I will have a tech look at the line and see if that is the problem.

Even after the technicians repaired the line and I am no longer seeing CRC errors on either side I am still getting poor performance (~6KB/s), any other thoughts?

If the link flat-lines at 6kbps then I'm suspecting the service provider is throttling it somewhere in their network.

Make sure you have no suspicious log entries on both routers.  Can you post the "sh proc cpu history" of both routers?

Is it slow one way or BOTH ways?

Hi Eric,

Either you can ask your SP to do an onsite throughput test or make an Iperf test yourself.

Looks like NAT is using a lot of CPU usage, but still does not add up to 100%. Any Ideas?

So I added some shorter timeouts to nat, but I am still seeing extremely high CPU usage.
