I have a question: When the IF output queue is full, the if_output simply drop the packet!?? I mean for a busy router, it often forwards the a lot of packets. If the IF output queue is often full, why ip stack does not get feedback from the driver and buffer the packets so that less packets are dropped ? Is the IF output queue often full? what is the max size of them? How to supervise them? Thanks a lot!
