Question

Dropped Byte Traffic Shapper

In normal condition where the internet traffic not fully utilize why in the traffic shapper there is dropped bytes?

I assumed dropped bytes will be occured when the traffic is congested or fully utilize. Someone know why?

Hello @HS08 ,

 

MS Teams traffic likely momentarily exceeded 100 Mbps. That's why you're seeing it as dropped bytes. If dropped bytes were very high, you might be concerned, but since they're low, I think this is normal.
