L3 Slow Path
Frames Number of frames received on a fabric port that were not
successfully matched against existing forwarding entries in
the layer 3 (L3) address cache. Subsequently, these frames

protocol filter, see “
Configuring Short-Lived IP Protocol
Filters ” in Chapter 12 , “ Configuring IP Routing .”
