output drops metro ethernet

Hi Cisco Gurus,

I got a 6M Metro Ethernet connecting to ISP ( for online portal) Over at the ISP end, they rate-limit the bandwidth to 6M, so at my end, i do a shape average 6M. however, when traffic starts to pick up, I'm seeing output drops.

can someone help, how to prevent this output drops?

FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up

Hi,

What does the "show int f0/0 switching" show?

Look at this link for output drops troubleshooting:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps133/products_tech_note09186a0080094791.shtml

Hope it helps, rate if does,

Hello,

you have 6 Mbps traffic shaping configured, so everything the traffic exceeds that, and beyond burst, there will be drops.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Hello,

Output offer rate is 3471000 bps, and seeing drops. Why is it?

what is this command doing " shape ave 6000000 "

You can be having traffic peaks and not seeing them. The offered rate is even average over some interval of time.

What the command does is to shape average output to 6 Mbps. As I mentioned before, excess traffic beyond allowed burst size, is consequently dropped.

I have a similar problem and wondering if there is any way to resolve the output drops?

For example:

If I see output drops on a 6M MetroE link with a "shape average 6M" in place

what can I do to reduce the output drops?

lower the number on the "shape average" command? like "shape average 5.5M" ?

Any help would be appreciated.

If the drops are caused by transient bursting, what might mitigate drops is increased queue depths (although this trades reduced drops for increased latency).  (Note: I recall not all platform/IOS combinations allow queue depth modification for a shaper.)
