# '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.

{% tab title="None" %}

```none
$ ip -s link show br-int30: br-int: [BROADCAST,MULTICAST] mtu 1450 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1link/ether ae:5c:09:cb:a5:43 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffRX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast 0 0 0 4732073 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns 0 0 28635 0 0 0
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Resolution

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmo/solution/br-int-packet-loss-observed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
