“Oversize packets: IPW provides a configurable maximum-size limit (in units of 128-byte cells). A received packet which is larger than this maximum is truncated and marked as errored in the notification sent to IngressQueueManager. This is provided to protect the data-path from illegal or out-of-bounds conditions, not to enforce requirements of particular protocols.

IPW is ingress packet writer responsible for writing packets into memory while sending notifications to Ingress Queue manager. This error means that an oversize packet was encountered by IPW.”

>> This is a transient error and can be ignored. The error should be cleared on its own as part of self healing mechanism.

>> If the logs persist over long time with high frequency, please with reboot of FPC in a MW.
