Output drop

Hello everybody

We have a couple of 3850 (Stacked) and we use it in our aggregation layer.

ports on this switches are bundled in port-channels to downstream switches

More than half of port are free(not connected for future).

As you know, 3850 series are really powerful and meanwhile when you stack them, their capabilities will increase.

but here are an output of one of port-channel interfaces which looks really strange:

Its IOS EX is almost updated (3.6). no buffer failures, no error or ,,,, but Output drop. this interfaces are 1G but their utilization is at most 30% ant lower. some of them utilize even under 10% . Switches are stacked and most of their interfaces are not connected so there isn't any limitation in buffer or ...
