A company that I work for is having some WAN performance issues. We
have some branches that respond with 25 - 70 ms response time they are
around 150 to max 200 miles in distance. It seems as though the
performance issues follow the slow ping response times.

The ISP recently switched over to a different frame-relay switch for
the DS-3 coneection we have. In this switch over we upgraded the
bandwidth. Now we are having performance issues. The branches are much
slower AT TIMES. Whenever we transfer a file to the branch everything
else dies and slows way down.

Any advice on how to troubleshoot this and find where the issue is
would be appreciated. The ISP is looking into it but have not came to
any conclusions.

Thanks

Completely wild guess - you don't have FR shaping configured on your PVCs at hub
site and/or you are using FIFO queueing. Correct?

With best regards,
