Hi,
Am experiencing a very strange phenomenon which i hope someone can help shed some light. Am migrting a site from an old Cisco 3660 router to a new CIsco 3845 router. The old router had serial connections to branch offices configured as multilink bundles, then everything was ok. When the new router was brought in with the same serial terminations to the remote branches the links become bery unsteady with high latency. Below is an output of ping:

The link keeps fluctuating like that the whole day and night with packet drops at times. When we move the links back to the old router everything works fine with minimal latency and no packet drops.
What could be the problem and how can i go about solving this issue.
Thanks,
Jerry.
