dellNetFpMMUHOLDrops
Module: DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB
OID (symbolic): DELL-NETWORKING-FPSTATS-MIB::dellNetFpMMUHOLDrops
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.27.1.3.1.12
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: MMU HOL DROPS
What is dellNetFpMMUHOLDrops?
This read-only Counter64 reports the number of packets dropped by the ASIC's Memory Management Unit (MMU) due to Head-Of-Line blocking, where a stalled destination queue prevents packets behind it in the buffer from being serviced, counted across the whole switch's forwarding ASIC, aggregated over every port (the per-interface breakdown of these same drop reasons is in the parallel dellNetFpIf... table). This is a Broadcom-style switch-ASIC hardware drop counter: an admin troubleshooting unexplained packet loss walks this whole family of counters (Ingress*, Eg*, MMU*) looking for whichever one is actually incrementing, since that pinpoints the specific stage of the forwarding pipeline (STP state, ACL policy, buffer exhaustion, CRC error, TTL, etc.) where packets are being discarded, rather than just seeing generic interface drops.
