ICMP Packet drop on Nexus 7018

[mohammedrafiq]

Hi,

I am running ping between two Nexus 7018 over WAN link ,and I can see some set pattern of packet drop(7.40 % drop) with MTU size 1500.When I ping between my 6500 VSS pair and same Nexus 7018 over different SP WAN link on diffrent location , I am still getting same kind of packet drop (8% drop) with MTU 1500.

Has any one else come across this issue with Nexus?

Regards.

This could be some rate-limiting of packets to the CPU, you can try and use the following command to see what's being dropped:

• show hardware rate-limit
