Packet Drops - Link on ACI Fabric

[netbeginner]

Hello, 

We have a point-to-point link connected on ACI fabric (leaf) (referring here as Site-A)  from a remote site (Site-B). We are experiencing some minor ping drops while pinging from  both the side.

At both end we don't see any error on respective Interfaces. We Service provider also confirming that their media is also errorless. 

Can we have any other provision available to check and investigate on ACI-fabric/Leaf end except ping test.

Hi,

ICMP traffic is often throttled on many network devices.

I'm a big fan of iPerf for throughput and performance testing.

Paessler also has a terrific free HTTP "stress test" tool that I always use as part of my testing after a data center build out.

Both of these are more advanced testing methodologies to be sure.  Have you tried Windows PathPing or MTR?

Hi Claudia 

I am searching for anything if we check on ACI level. like CoPP etc to track drops.

Hi @netbeginner,

Gotcha! sorry I misunderstood.  I don't know of any tool on the APIC that does that (does not mean I've not missed it!).  Great idea for an ACI App actually.

Sorry I could not be of any help!
