Could you please let us know this 2621 router have the hardware VPN accelerator? If you using software crypto engine means it will take more cpu process due to that your performance will be slow. For this upgrade the IOS with IPSECservice

The network had been working fine until lately.

The IPVPN is provided by the ISP.

The routers are configured with BGP & OSPF for dynamic routing.

Below is the router config :-

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address 192.168.20.24 255.255.255.0

check cpu

show proc cpu hi

show proc cpu sort

check interface for error and duplex

show int | i rel

show int | i err

look and see if all arp entries have same timeout, they should all be varied

sho ip arp

check circuit utilization

set load-interval to 30 on all interfaces

check for DE bits if you have frame-relay

show frame pvc

configure netflow top talkers

configre ip nbar application discovery

verify there are no mtu problems

run extended ping from router to router at 1500 bytes with df bit set

post the output of all of this and I can probaly point out something

try also looking at the desktop its self, go throught and tune the OS to run faster, chances are they have a bunch or programs running in the background, themes, multiple personal FWs, click start then run and type in msconfig and go through and click on the startup tab and uncheck everything not needed, then click on services tab and stop the services not needed.

lastly turn on ip netflow top talkers and configure the load-interval on all interfaces to 30 so you can see if there are data bursting spikes, when there is a spike issue the show ip flow top command and find out what system and application is bursting. There are many ways to control bursting apps , CAR policy on interface would be easy
