At a recent Cisco seminar aimed at corporate customers, Cisco was
specifying the 7500 be used in all the following situations:
1. connecting a single mainframe computer to the campus backbone
2. connecting a large office to the campus backbone
3. connecting a remote office over frame relay at 512 kbs to the campus
backbone. But do not despair, if you are running at 256kb, you can drop
back to a 7200.
#3 implies we are over driving our 7500s. If the 7500 is intended to
handle a single serial line at 512kb, no wonder it seems to get overloaded
on the backbone.
