7206VXR Throughput problems.

Hello

I seem to have a bit of a problem with my 7206VXR Router.

I have a few customers (about 30 or so) behind the router on wifi, adsl and fibre.

Now when I do a speed check against a reliable speedometer, or I download a file from my own computer (which is not behind this router, and on a 50Mbit line) I get between 1Mbit and 1.5Mbit, both upstream / downstream.

I have a spare 7206VXR (old boxes, you never know..) and I get exactly the same rates with identical config.

I've yelled at my isp, rattled the warhammer. But they insist there's more speed available.

So, tonight I took my laptop, removed the router, and did a speed test.

30mbit downstream / 20Mbit upstream, with no router present.

Damn.

So, I removed my routerconfig, and tuned it with a simple, down-to-earth config, and connected ONLY my laptop.

Intrestingly enough, this allowed an upstream of 20Mbit, but back to 1-1.5Mbit downstream.

So I removed ALL the NAT config, and placed my laptop on a public IP, further minimizing the config, but this resulted in the same terrible downstream speed. (still got 20Mbit upstream though.)

I've got no idea whatsoever what's causing this problem.

Under no circumstance does the router show any load:

CPU utilization for five seconds: 0%/0%; one minute: 0%; five minutes: 0%

These numbers are maybe up to 2,3 percent when all the customers are attached.

I also have a spare I/O card, the midplane with the PCMCIA card, and console port. I've tried to change that as well, and another I/O card (the fa3/0) changed that as well, all with the same results. (none).

So what I'm thinking, either the software dosen't support the NPE-300 network prosessor engine, or I'm a f#?%up with

IOS commands. On one of the routers I get BAD CPU_ID during boot, but only one of them.

I've posted a simple config, and the output of SH VER as well.

Does anybody see some simple stupid mistake / error here?

Thanks for your time;=)

I can suggest Only one thing to you....

At the time of working Environment mean when problem persist at that time, Please capture some traffic by using sniffer. and analyze.

That is only can help to resolve Throughput problem.

Regards,

Dharmesh Purohit

No eveident mistakes. Do you have acess to downloads ? Can you upgrade to latest 12.3 ? (line (40) or so.

Hello,

No, I don't have access to downloads.

This is indeed very strange. Later yesterday night, I took the spare FA card and inserted it in slot 2/0.

Then I connected the wan interface in slot 2/0 instead of 0/0.

When I had a speed test (with my full configuration) I got 1/20Mbit from nat'ed net, and I got 4/5Mbit from a net without nat. I did this about five times, and no variations to speak about.

I'm utterly clueless.

Purohit: Well, the problem kinda persists ALL the time, so it shouldn't be hard finding the time. I will try some sniffing.

Thanks;=)
