output drop

cannone78
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all,

I've my 3845 with a giga interface configured 100M/Full Duplex.

I've applied an Hierarchical Policy with a policy parent that shape traffic at 20M and the child that manage 3 different classes with CBWFQ.

With show interface I see different output drops:

Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 347

but with show policy-map interface I haven't any drop in any class even in default class..

For me output drops on phisical interface should be the amount of drops of all the classes? I'm confused..I've no crc,error...

Many thanks in advance for your support

Do the drops increase while traffic is flowing ? Do the packet counters in show policy-map appears to be correct ?

Thanks for your answer.

Now you see Total output drops 0 since i have done a clear counter...

Regards

Gianluca

All seems good. Perhaps a transient situation caused the drops.

ok...but the question is: why I see output drops on phisical interface and no drops on the show policy map?

I mean..if the policy seems no drop traffic..why theese packet are dropped on phisical interface?

Many thanks for your support...

What might be happening is the drops happened within the shaper's queues.

Yes, one assumes the parent shaper kicks over rate traffic into the child queues, and it does, but it's unclear how the two queues, parent's and child's, interact.

On some routers using hierarchal policy maps, I recall I've seen traffic queued in both the parent shaper's queues, which appears to use FQ, and the child's class defined queues.
