X-BeenThere: freebsd-net@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Networking and TCP/IP with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 08 May 2012 00:09:58 -0000 Hi, a question for jfv@ or whoever else is familiar with the ixgbe driver - I am looking at a system where the adapter reports a large number of ierrors that I traced to this stat. What does this mean? Intuitively it seems like the receive ring isn't being drained fast enough but wanted to confirm with the experts. -vijay
