ASR920 output drops with Xconnect terminated on TenG Interfaces

DavideL3
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,
I'm testing 2 ASR-920-24SZ-M with XE 16.09.03 version.
The devices are connected back-to-back using Teng 0/0/25 interfaces with MPLS enabled.
The TenG0/0/27 of both devices are connected to traffic generator instruments.

Here's the setup:

There is a L2VPN Xconnect pseudowire build between the two EVC to allow layer2 connectivity between traffic generator equipements.
When I generate over 7 Gbit/sec of  throughput I'm registering a lot of output drops on the exit Teng interface.
Let me explain better:
1) Traffic generator equipment send traffic to 920-TEST1 on TE0/0/27 EVC1
2) 920-TEST1 receive the traffic and encapsulate it into a MPLS pseudowire going out through TE0/0/25
3) 920-TEST2 receive the pseudowire MPLS traffic through TE0/0/25
4) 920-TEST2  decapsulate the traffic and send to the traffic generator connected on port TE0/0/27 --> DROPS

I have a lot of drops only at point number 4.  If I increase the traffic to reach 10Gbit/sec saturation I got about 30% of traffic loss on the exit interface 920-TEST2 TE0/0/27.  No drop occurs on the other segments; only through the pseudowire exit interface.

Any advice ? I try to modify the queue because the microbusts issue of the ASR920 platform. Non success at all.

Thank you,
Davide

Hello Davide,

what frame size are you using on traffic generator ?

Do you see any difference if you use bigger frames ?

 

Hope to help

Giuseppe
