Cisco Router Bandwidth Check?
On my Cisco 1841 router I am checking my bandwidth, which shows:
5 minute input rate 260000 bits/sec, 35 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 47000 bits/sec, 27 packets/sec
I checked this during these slow spikes we've been getting once in a while. We have a 10Mbit connection... symmetrical (thats the word, right? If I have 10MBit up and down?)
Is this congested? Or is this ISP related? Can anyone lend a hand in further troubleshooting?

I figured as much. I rebooted the router and it was considerably faster than before. What could have caused this?

The output of show process cpu is massive. Will this suffice?:
CPU utilization for five seconds: 1%/0%; one minute: 2%; five minutes: 3%
show process memory:
Processor Pool Total: 188642816 Used: 25857188 Free: 162785628
I/O Pool Total: 28311552 Used: 4156400 Free: 24155152
This is obviously different than before I rebooted the router, but I'm guessing one of these 2 was choking? How do I kill processes on a cisco router if this happens again?

If I can't kill individual processes, what is my best possible solution next time this happens If I don't want any downtime?

No, that's not congested. That's a utilization of 2.6%
The next time you have a slowdown, clear the counters on the interface and then show the counters. Then show the counters again after a couple minutes and post the output here.
