[FAQ] Carbon randomly dropping most of data for tcp and udp

We just switched application to send udp packets instead of tcp packets to carbon via api. When sent tcp packets, carbon aggregator listener log is able to get all the tcp packets, but not all the wsp files in database got updated causing grafana not showing all the data.
When application sent udp packets, i can see the “line” port 2023 got established and tcpdump gets the data on the receiving carbon box. However again carbon drops most of the data. It is more like dropping 99/100 of the data.
