We've got an SRX 3600 in for testing. It's a simple config - two
interfaces, one in untrust and another in trust, and two permit-all
policies. No app-firewall, screens or other oddness.
The device is logging a *lot* of dropped packets:
Flow Statistics Summary:
System total valid sessions: 111399
Packets forwarded: 195797361
Packets dropped: 6129373
Fragment packets: 807440
...couple of seconds, and:
Flow Statistics Summary:
System total valid sessions: 112330
Packets forwarded: 196037822
Packets dropped: 6136348
Fragment packets: 808420
i.e. about 500pps reported dropped. We are getting reports that this is
affecting user connectivity on things like chat, gaming and audio/video.
Load is not high, as I understand the capabilities of this platform:

How can I determine what the dropped packets are, and why they're being
dropped?
