[c-nsp] Simultaneous drops - 2 upstream providers

Thanks Blake - 

Both links (that drop) are doing minimal traffic (One is only a backup link, so isnt used) - the link that is not affected is doing ~100-150Mb/sec, Carrier A link is doing 5-10Mb/sec and Carrier B virtually zero(As it's a backup link as mentioned)....seeing minimal output drops on each port

All links are Gb (physical), and carrier rate limits (Carrier A 50M, Carrier B 200M and carrier C 1Gb)

You don't give too much information here, so its hard to speculate.

My guess as to the first thing to check would be out of buffer drops on the 37x, but like I said above, it's only really a wild guess, since you don't specify port layout or link speeds. You can verify by looking at the ASIC stats, as the interface stats can be unreliable for that type of drop.

Hi - bit of a strange one - We have 3 interpop links (3 different carriers) terminating on a 3750X+ASR at one of our POPs, and are seeing intermittent drops on 2 of the links(And ospf loses adjancency) at the same time



Carrier A - POPA -> POPB - We see drops/ospf adjancency issues once/twice a dayCarrier B - POPA -> POPC - We see drops/ospf adjancency issues once/twice a dayCarrier C - POPA -> POPB - No issues at all

All links terminate on the same 3750, and then are trunked to an ASR1006 for L3 - There are no errors/physical link issues on the 3750, and both carriers also do not see any errors/link drops.

It would be improbable that both carriers have issues on there networks at precisely the same time, so it is either our switch(3750), or something weird happening with the x-connects that doesnt cause the links to drop, doesnt cause any errors etc, but causes ospf to lose adjacency (but only for 2 providers, not the third?)



Any suggestions/assistance is greatly appreciated
