I have a discarded packet rate of .018% on a Port-Cannel to and from Dell s4048ON. Is that normal? Please provide a good source. I used ChatGPT and it said its normal but id like a legitimate white paper or dell document that can confirm.

I looked at all the transceivers and they all have the same input discarded rate. (Was trying to narrow out one interface in the Port-Channel)

Check out my configs
