Hello,

I'm totally stucked with the following problem ->

Catalyst 7606 ( IOS 12.2(33)SRD4) with WS-F6700-DFC3CXL module connected with C3750-E (IOS 12.2(40)SE) over TenGigabit Xenpaks. Its one of our backbone lines, transferring only VLAN-201.

There are two small subnets in this VLAN assigned to two servers, which are connected to 3750. Vlan-201 is routed on 7606

When traffic on this link reaches aproximately 6Gbps, latence to servers gets rapidly worse (about 100-150ms, about 2ms before) and speed is unpredictably slowing. Servers are able to generate much more than 10Gbps. I have tried to assign IP from this VLAN directly to vlan-interface at 3750 and latence is bad as well.


The two problems which I can see at 7606 are following:

1) Input queue drops at the interface. They appear at the same time as the high latence. I tried to set lower hold-queue, but no difference. Any type of qos or other bandwidht limiting methods are applied.

the second side of line looks ok

2) It looks that concerned transciever is a little bit overheated..but I don't trust these sensors much..

I'm going to replace the "overheated" transciever in 7606 this night and hope it's the solution..but don't trust it much.


Any advice would be really appreciated!


Best regards,
