Different manufacturers and platforms have different ways of indicating 
the presence of congestion.  Some will not explicitly report it, so you 
end up having to go back and look at performance statistics on your devices
(per-interface traffic, overall traffic and/or traffic per ASIC group, 
CPU/memory/buffer utilization, link errors, overruns, etc).

Whichever manufacturers you use will likely have lots of resources 
available through their websites/support channels for troubleshooting 
congestion.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and take a guess that Ann = Deric, 
using a different address?
