Well, we're not really sure. We put it in front of a 7200 doing approx 50 
megabits of data with 50% cpu load, to divert the internet traffic and 
make the 7200 handle only MPLS PE functionality. The 3550 had only 3 SVIs.

It might be broadcast related, we had a lot of L2 broadcasts on that 
segment.
