N3248X-ON Firmware version 6.8.1.2 Interface Discards

Hi,

We are seeing interface discards and a slowly increasing Alloc failures below. The discards seem to be affecting the data transfer of Avid Nexis clients to the Avid Nexis storage. Whenever a write error occurs on the Avid Nexis clients while copying, there was a small spike in discards. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
