Sharing my interface errors

Hi guys.
Just would like to share my error interface graph.
This maximun error happens on 5.1 Gbps traffic.
Mi feeling is:
Im getting 624mpbs of dropped packets.
It means that more than 10% of traffic is being dropped?
It is a very critical situation …
Hope to hear your feeling.

I think m here is milli, not mega. But since this is a nework issue and a librenms issue, this is not really the right place to ask :slight_smile:

Usually output discards would occur when the receiving side can’t hold any more data in their buffers. So if there is a burst for example and the port is already heavily loaded, it can happen.

Exactly … this is my question … are those mili or megas ?? ( since there is little k also … )
Where do you consider to be the right place to ask about this ?
Any way … thanks !!

Ah sorry, haha I thought you were asking why do you see discards :smiley:

Normally in networking you would only use K but I THINK, this one is milli, I’ll try to find an interface that is bursty or something for an example, could be tricky though.

Heh… the m from milli looks like it say XXX mbps(megabits per second) and it is XXXm bps which means XXX millibites per second.

I understand your confussion.

Yea I think the milli usage can get quite confusing, would be handy to be able to disable that completely. I certainly don’t care about most values what would be milli :smiley:

But in the end it is correct so can’t complain too much :stuck_out_tongue:

I vote to get rid of milli also
