That's true, but I think Rick has a point in that there should be some sort of (different) counter counting this. In general I believe every point in the stack who drops a packet should have a statistics counter so that it can be later diagnosed. Rick, the best way to get such a counter in is to just send a patch, don't ask for it. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
