I'm trying to track down little spurts of packet loss on a 100 meter MM
fiber connection. I know the loss doesn't occur before this point but
does occur after it, so I know where it's happening but neither
interface reports any errors. It's just frustrating because I don't
understand one of these Ethernet devices is dropping packets without
reporting any sort of error at all.
Is it possible a switch passes a frame to an SFP and the SFP has some
internal error causing a dropped frame, but that the switch is now
oblivious to the error because it happened in the electronics of the
SFP? These are 8+ years old Maxxwave SFP's.
