What could be reason for Missing the packets
-
I get this debug info from my Intel Pro 1000 NIC:
em1: Excessive collisions = 0
em1: Symbol errors = 0
em1: Sequence errors = 0
em1: Defer count = 0
em1: Missed Packets = 3202
em1: Receive No Buffers = 573
em1: Receive length errors = 0
em1: Receive errors = 0
em1: Crc errors = 0
em1: Alignment errors = 0
em1: Carrier extension errors = 0
em1: RX overruns = 17
em1: watchdog timeouts = 0
em1: XON Rcvd = 0
em1: XON Xmtd = 0
em1: XOFF Rcvd = 0
em1: XOFF Xmtd = 0
em1: Good Packets Rcvd = 1980653
em1: Good Packets Xmtd = 1373047Any idea what do these errors mean in particular ?
What could be other reason for "Missed Packets" if not "Receive No Buffers" ? Also what is the difference between "Receive No Buffers" and "RX overruns" ?
This is in the interrupt mode for the NIC with relatively low 2300 interrupts/sec
