Hmmm, a 7206 should surely be able to handle more than 600 packets per second
or am I wrong here? Our upstream E3 is currently used a maximum of 15Mbps and
at peak time we see about 3000 pps on that link. If 20% of that is TCP RST
packets, that would be 600 packets per second. And I'm sure somebody else on
this list would be noticing this as well, especially with higher speed links.
