Hello Bryan,

There is simply too much traffic on this link.

in 6d03h you have had

2309239694 packets input, 2815330998 bytes

49162952 ignored

or the counters are fake or the octets count have wrapped many times.

you have had a 2% loss in input

and 17875294 / 2288024906 = 0.78 % outbound loss.

You are using a old FE module not a PA mounted on a VIP linecard.

You could try to shape outbound on the other side but ignored are caused by the incoming packet rate more then the traffic volume.

You can try to implement traffic-shaping for outgoing direction to minimize output drops.

Hope to help

Giuseppe
