I have seen 'link local multicast' traffic cause this. That is multicast traffic the is not meant to be routed off the vlan so it is dropped. In that case it was a surveillance camera monitoring application.

"In Discards" and "Out Discards" are high. The more traffic is on the link, the more discards seem to happen. 'show rmon stats' gives me lots of "drop events" and the tg interfaces show these discards but no errors. We do have ingress filtering on those links, but egress settings on both sides are ok. 1) What could be the reason? 2) Could there be performance problems as a result? I'll have to check my cacti graphs of the actual N7 CPU usage, of course they seem to be malfunctioning now that one would need them.
