1-3% of inbound packets are being dropped


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty much at wits end. Recently I've observed inbound packets being dropped at a minimum of ~60 packets per minute. For every 10000 inbound packets, I'm seeing about 1-3 dropped... and I have no idea why. I've tried `tcpdump`, but I'm not sure how to analyze the output to find the packets that are being dropped. I've also tried messing with various configuration options on my router and server, swapping out ethernet cables, changing ethernet ports, and removing devices from the network... Nothing's worked.

 

Interesting observation: even when it was just my PC and the server connected via my router (with no internet connection), I still seemed to get the same rate of packet drops on my unRaid server.

 

Anyhow, this a chart depicting the number of inbound packets being dropped over time (courtesy of Netdata):

From what I've seen, the peaks never drop below 0.9.

 

Any advice? I've spent the past couple of days trying to figure this out, but I haven't been able to figure anything out :(

 

Thanks!
