Input/Output interface queues on PIX

[SteveGodfrey]

I'm trying to find out what the limits are for the software queues.....

As you can see we've hit some fairly high numbers already. The PIX is a 525 6.2(2) with a 34 meg internet feed.

Outside

input queue (curr/max blocks): hardware (128/128) software (0/367)

output queue (curr/max blocks): hardware (0/128) software (0/203)

Inside

input queue (curr/max blocks): hardware (128/128) software (0/265)

output queue (curr/max blocks): hardware (2/128) software (0/525)

Are you seeing packet drops. You need to be concerned only if you start seeing a large number of drops.

Not seeing any noticeable packet loss at the moment.
