Hello All,
 
We’re noticing a large number of input errors on multiple GigE interfaces on 
various C720X NPE-G1 routers.  These input errors match exactly with the number 
of overruns on those interfaces.  
 
There are a couple strange things that we’ve noticed:
 
1.        this problem happens on more than 1 router (similar configuration on 
all routers)
2.       all routers affected began exhibiting these errors roughly around the 
same time (same early morning)
3.       All routers are G1 and ran the same IOS code
4.       One of the routers was rebooted and upgraded to a different code 
however the problem still persists
5.       we suspect it directly affects the functionality of the router as we 
see random lockups of the units
6.       All routers are connected to redundant switches and cabling/switches 
have been ruled out.
 
Below is a sample output of the show interface on one of the routers:
GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is BCM1250 Internal MAC, address is 00b0.c2ee.b81b (bia

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?  
I initially suspected an IOS bug (since all devices were affected) however 
after the upgrade the problem still persists.  
 
Any help is appreciated.
Adrian
