[c-nsp] Re: Dropped packets to a specific subnet(Not physical)

I am suspecting its not layer 1 because its only happening to hosts in this
subnet (172.31.10.14), there are other devices on the switch as well, who do
not suffer from this, so i thought it maybe a routing problem, i submitted
below the interfaces on the routers and tommorow, i will be able to put the
switch and firewall.

Please note that WAN_ROUTER is an internet PE in an MPLS cloud of an ISP, so
there's alot behind it, i can see the underruns, errors, collisions,
throttles, giants :) but does that explain why certain hosts drop packets.

Also note that i got the above snapshots before clearing the counters, i
have cleared them and waited for 5 minutes, tried again and there were no
errors, CRC,..

Please check my problem description, as i said it was working without any
drops, until i changed the subnet, not the physical connectivity, i'll still
change the cabling tommorow and submit all interfaces  counters all the way.
