We have seen latency without loss on packets to a 7500 GEIP+ interface.
Our interpretation is that IOS did not properly initialize the interface
to generate received packet interrupts. Packets landed in the buffers
and were cleaned out on the next clock interrupt, producing an appearant
distribution of arrival times. Upgrading IOS fixed this.
