VIAVI TestCenter: 5.16 Incorrect dropped count on PX3 card and appliance
Knowledge Base - FAQ
As soon as the traffic starts, and even though after stop traffic TX count = RX count under Stream Block Results view, we are seeing a huge number for dropped count and >100% dropped frame, It looks like the amount of drops is not a consistent number/value since we have seen the following counters for Dropped Count (Frames)
o 12,884,901,852
o 4,294,967,2XX
o 21,474,836,484
o 17,179,869,212
The drop count value seems to toggle up and down upon traffic running continuous or when sending multiple burst multiple times (i.e. going from 12,884,901,852 12,884,901,848 back and forth, increasing and decreasing with no apparent reason)
