hello all gurus,
i have an customer issue on 3750-E-48 connected to DWDM link
my NMS reports sometimes very huge of Discard Rate Value on DWDM's port of 3750
DWDM link is configured at 1G speed and % of usage is approximalty alway 10 to 20
so i think link is not oversucribed
i looked on 3750 counters but nothing wrong from that
where can i dig to find culprit on that issue ?
thanks in advance

The 3750 series is a bit infamous for egress dropping transient burst packets.
Do you have QoS enabled? If so, and if you don't need it, disable it.
If you need QoS, buffer tuning may mitigate your egress drops.

I understand your confusion, i.e. thinking low utilization won't lead to drops; not always so. Suggest you search Internet on subject of micro bursts.
