Troubleshooting a Converged Network
Dropping packets within specific queues can be hard to diagnose. After you've worked with a converged network for a while, though, you will get a feel for how the queues should behave. While every network is different, here are some common symptoms to look out for.
Incorrect Queue Configuration
When all the queues are configured correctly, none of them should drop packets when the link is congestion-free. When congestion occurs, packets should be dropped from the least important queue first. The least important queue is the class-default queue, where all nonprioritized packets are queued.
Here, I have routed excessive traffic across our sample network's T1 link. While most of the queues are busy, only the class-default queue is showing dropped packets:
