Re: Multicast drops

Does this help?

  Last clearing of "show interface" counters 00:00:28
...
  Input queue: 1/75/0/111 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  5 minute input rate 5413000 bits/sec, 1900 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 13000 bits/sec, 9 packets/sec

This is a GigE interface (the one connecting to the other 7300, the
interface where ping drops occour). I see flushes on this interface
(111 in 28 seconds) although the input rate is low (around 5.4Mbps).

1 - Could this be where I am loosing packets? (Remeber, this all began
because of missing multicast packets)
2 - How to fix this?
