Hi folks... Looking for input on *realworld* maximum throughput on an OC-3 circuit? This is a Cisco 7206VXR with a OC-3 card with l2tp tunnels coming into the router servicing PPPOE clients over ADSL. Thanks, ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@pu

If you are trying to influence the return-traffic from cogent to go to you via another upstream and not level3, you can use the level3 community that will prepend a few times to cogent. We do this with great success as we have three providers and try to keep some tier 1s coming in each of them ba

The prepeding should have nothing to do with your lack of connectivity through Cogent. All the prepending would do is possibly make another route look more desireable due to the as-path. They already append their ASN when you pass through their AS. As a second note... are you allowing UDP ports fo

If that is your desire, then prepend away. I would not be surprised if you need to prepend more than one on their link to push the route down the prefered list. If you peer directly with Level3/Cogent then you could just prepend your ASN a few times on the announcements for 208.74.141.0/24 to them

Welcome to the limitations of TCP using standard window sizes. There is tons of documentation out on the net on how to tweak TCP connections to maximize throughput. WAN accel appliances are very good at doing this as well, if you don't want to mess around with tweaking individual hosts.

That's correct. The FWSM is just a (fast) PIX on a blade that is connected to the switch with a hidden 6-port Etherchannel. You configure the VLANs on this hidden trunk (po272) with the firewall commands on the SUP. As far as routing and any other traffic, consider it as a totally separate devic

Vikas, I've found it immensely helpful to think of the FWSM as a separate device (as in PIX) that is just connected to the switch by means of the associated VLANs rather than physical cables. In my early experience with the FWSM I had trouble separating the FWSM from the switch when thinking of tra

First guess is probably latency since you mentioned that you can push more if you do several sessions. Do a bandwidth/delay/product calculation to figure out what you can reasonably expect for a single session given the latency and bandwidth between the two sites. I used a similar calculation to
