Just to be aware, there has been a cosmetic bug on many cisco
platforms two years ago that clasified all dot1q trunked frame as
giants. The way to see verify this is by looking whether you don't see
giants on all trunk ports.

On one link for example where  we have an etherchannel between a GSR and a

packets on the switch side

if you have high mtu such as 9180 on that interface, and packets exceed
