Hi Guys
When I'm pinging router gi0/0 interface or hosts behind the router I get high ping drop rate (4-5%) depending on interface utilization.
Router CPU is at 30%, memory is fine, small amount (much smaller than noticeable packet loss) of input error overrun on interface gi0/0, no buffer misses. CEF and fast switching enabled on gi0/0.
Interface is receiving up to 130Mbit/s of traffic (up to 20.000 packets/sec), and PBR is enabled on the same (gi0/0) interface!!!
Only error that I see is rx_overflow_err counter increasing under the "sh controller gi0/0" command output:

What does rx_overflow_err mean and where this overflow is actually happening?
Thanks
