'br-int' Packet Loss Observed

Problem

Packet drops are observed on the br-int (integration bridge) interface of the hypervisors

Environment

  • Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v4.0 and Higher
  • Open vSwitch

Cause

The br-int interface does not have networking configuration and its status is DOWN. Any broadcast/multicast packet hitting this interface will get dropped causing the counter to increment.

Copy

Resolution

An increase in the number of drop packets should not cause any networking issue and can be safely ignored.
