Description of PR
Summary:
The m2o script uses lossless and lossy flows. The cisco-8000 can send a lot of traffic to a single backplane port, ending up dropping them at the backplane in stead of the outgoing port. The m2o script checks dropped packets at the outgoing port, and due to the above condition fails - when the outgoing port itself didn't drop any of the packets.
Type of change
Back port request
