Hey,

Are you testing with a small packet size ? If so, according to the the documentation :


Traffic is dropped when packets of size 64–100 bytes are sent on 1G and 10G ports.

For 64-byte packets, traffic drop is seen at 70% and beyond of the line rate.

For 90-byte packets, traffic drop is seen at 90% and beyond of the line rate.

For 95-byte packets, traffic drop is seen at 95% and beyond of the line rate.

Traffic is dropped when:

Traffic is sent on a VRF interface.

Traffic is sent across layer 2 and layer 3.

However, traffic is not dropped when the packet size is greater than 100 bytes, even if the packets are sent bidirectionally at the line rate.



My thoughts and words are my own.

Hello,
I'm testing 2 ASR-920-24SZ-M with XE 16.09.03 version.
The devices are connected back-to-back using Teng 0/0/25 interfaces with MPLS enabled.
The TenG0/0/27 of both devices are connected to traffic generator instruments.

Here's the setup:


+----------------------+
|TRAFFIC GEN |
+--+------------------+
|
|EVC1
|
|
|TE0/0/27
+----------------+
| 920|TEST1 |
+---------------+
|TE0/0/25
|
|MPLS
|
|
|TE/0/0/25
+----------------+
| 920|TEST2 |
+----------------+
|TE0/0/27
|
|
|EVC1
|
+-------------------+
|TRAFFIC GEN|
+-------------------+


There is a L2VPN Xconnect pseudowire build between the two EVC to allow layer2 connectivity between traffic generator equipements.
When I generate over 7 Gbit/sec of throughput I'm registering a lot of output drops on the exit Teng interface.
Let me explain better:
1) Traffic generator equipment send traffic to 920-TEST1 on TE0/0/27 EVC1
2) 920-TEST1 receive the traffic and encapsulate it into a MPLS pseudowire going out through TE0/0/25
3) 920-TEST2 receive the pseudowire MPLS traffic through TE0/0/25
4) 920-TEST2 decapsulate the traffic and send to the traffic generator connected on port TE0/0/27 --> DROPS!!!!

I have a lot of drops only at point number 4. If I increase the traffic to reach 10Gbit/sec saturation I got about 30% of traffic loss on the exit interface 920-TEST2 TE0/0/27. No drop occurs on the other segments; only through the pseudowire exit interface.

Any advice ? I try to modify the queue because the microbusts issue of the ASR920 platform. Non success at all.

Thank you,
Davide

Are you sure you are measuring L1 rate? This is common problem in
tooling that only L2 is reported.

64.0/(8+64+12) == 76.2% L2 rate, when L1 rate is 100%
90.0/(8+90+12) == 81.8% L2 rate, when L1 rate is 100%

Also if you are sending wirerate on ingress and putting it on
pseudowire, you're increasing packet size, so you must send smaller
packets.
