Faced the similar issue with massive discards in VoQ on N7K from F3 on
ingress to F2E on egress. Never resolved, discards are seen even when
the traffic is at minimum level but not so critical as it was. In my
case egress queues didn't show any drops, all discards happened on
ingress in VoQ, and they were affecting only specific traffic flows.
TAC case was opened and changed three engineers over more than a year
now, still no useful outcome. Understand that this is probably not very
helpful for your situation but we were considering switch replacement
and meanwhile also changing network topology (which was partially done
in fact as a temporary workaround).
IMHO number of queues looks as not very important parameter because
affected traffic flows should always go to the same queue, so in theory
more queues won't ease the back pressure to VoQs, that are also should
be the same for a particular traffic class.
Kind regards,
Andrey

As it appears the F2E line cards are terrible at dequeuing packets
quick
enough across a port-channeled application. There was an incident
where
traffic got pinned to one link from the same source/destination causing
input discards due to back pressure from VoQ drops/congestion on some
port-channel egress ports. The issue went away on its own and
correlated to a sudden increase in traffic (sessions per second)
between a
single source and destination. All ingress and egress ports are
port-channeled with at least two members in them.
Looking at the F3 line cards they have about 7k more egress queue per
port
and double the amount of egress queue per SOC (512k vs 256k). Granted
the
F3 lines are a huge cost increase would they be an appropriate upgrade
to
handle this type of burst traffic?
ss quese
I see the Nexus 7k platform has M3 line cards which cost 3x-4x F3 line
cards. What is typically used in data center environments these days
ines
Nexus 7k switches that handle voice applications and such?
