Yes, the one released in 1996 and EOL'd in 2003.
Please stop laughing.
This is the gateway to the internet for the school that I work for. It gets 3 class C IP blocks over BGP, and has 5 interfaces. Two are used for 60mbps fiber links, in a failover setup, one goes to a Sonicwall that the school uses as its primary router, one goes to a municipal WISP network, and one goes to a colo rack that they rent out. A switch sits between the sonicwall and the 3600, which acts as the "DMZ".
They have been having some network problems as of late, and I can't find the problem anywhere in the gear after the sonicwall. We monitor most of the network equipment via SNMP. We don't have any kind of monitoring on the Cisco 3600, and I don't think anyone has even touched it in over 13 years.
We have users complaining about pages not loading, and "the internet being slow". When I look at the logs, and the real-time graphs when the users are complaining, we have never used more than 40mbps, and its usually in the 15 - 20mbps range. So my question is, could this old Cisco 3600 be choking on the kind of bandwidth that we are expecting it to route? Does anyone have any experience with this thing?
