I have a scenario of dropping packets in my class-default class under a specified policy-map (outbound) and I can't figure out why. The priority and other defined classes don't get near their assigned "reservations". I thought when that configured bandwidth went unused, it would be shared with the other classes. The class-default in this situation is assigned 30% bandwidth and although it does spike above 30% sometimes, its not the norm. Either way like I said the other classes are not being used to their limit so should be shared. Just makes no sense.
The physical interface is never compelely saturated per the show interface tx/rxloads either.
