Hi All,
I have a Cisco 3900E series router attached to a carrier MPLS provider. The MPLS Ethernet circuit is 100Mbps of CIR bandwidth. However, when the egress traffic of the MPLS interface reaches above 30Mbps, I receive alert notifications that the interface is dropping packets.
I'm not an expert is QoS, but I can't find any reason in the output of the config that would cause the dropping of packets when the bandwidth utilization on the MPLS egress direction is low. Maybe talk to the carrier regarding an interface problem?
