[c-nsp] packet drop due ti CAR (rate-limit)

[Muhammad Farooq]

Hi,

we are having packet drops issue due to rate limit on fastethernet of 3845 router. We are using dot1q on that interface. If we remove rate-limit then packet drop issue solves. Please note that with increase in rate limit packet drop interval also increases and it make a pattern. Output of show interface is pasted below. Running IOS of router is c3845-advipservicesk9-mz.123-14.T7.bin and interface utilization is not more that 35%

interface FastEthernet3/0
no ip address
load-interval 30
duplex full

Please help me out to diagnose and fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
