I was checking the VSL link on a network and I have found a lot of giant:
show int Te1/5/5TenGigabitEthernet1/5/4 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
8 runts, 1739095 giants, 0 throttles
I have searched on cisco.com and I have found the following:
The VSL carries data traffic and in-band control
traffic between the two chassis. All frames forwarded over the VSL link
are encapsulated with a special 32-byte header, which provides
information for the VSS to forward the packet on the peer chassis.
I guess if a packet close to1500 MTU is received and a 32-byte header is added, we have giant packet. If I'm wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.
