We've got an SRX 3600 in for testing. It's a simple config - two interfaces, one in untrust and another in trust, and two permit-all policies. No app-firewall, screens or other oddness.

The device is logging a *lot* of dropped packets:

  Flow Statistics Summary:
    System total valid sessions: 111399
    Packets forwarded: 195797361
    Packets dropped: 6129373
    Fragment packets: 807440

...couple of seconds, and:

  Flow Statistics Summary:
    System total valid sessions: 112330
    Packets forwarded: 196037822
    Packets dropped: 6136348
    Fragment packets: 808420

i.e. about 500pps reported dropped. We are getting reports that this is affecting user connectivity on things like chat, gaming and audio/video.

Load is not high, as I understand the capabilities of this platform:

How can I determine what the dropped packets are, and why they're being dropped?
