I'm 99 % sure that the bottleneck is router.
As for other hardware, router connected to 3Com 3300 XM which is devided
on VLANs.
The most loading on two 100 Mb interfaces (backbone interfaces). Network
becomes slow when their loading 4 MB/s on each other (about 5500
interrupts on each, is not this very high), other interfaces have stable
loading and CPU loading is about 50-30 % idle.
As for routing table:
root[xxx]:/etc/> netstat -rn | wc -l
