Lots of little packets. The 3600 series starts to choke when you have
more than 1000 packets on a single interface. Imagine my surprise during
one such attack and have the Cisco engineer suggest a 7500 to me. On
two T1's! I've seen it hit at 3000 packets/s - you can forget about any
response time. CPU at 99%, etc.
Our 3640 handles our two T1's with tons of heavy filters and traffic
shapping just fine too, as long as that packets/s rate is low.
