Need help in interpreting ip status output

[André Hartmann <aha_1980@xxxxxx>]

Hi all,

can someone help me interpreting the following ip output:

ip -s link show can1
     3: can1: <NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP,ECHO> mtu 16 qdisc pfifo_fast state
UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 100
         link/can
         RX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped overrun mcast
         0          9987413  1       74      1       0
         TX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped carrier collsns
         0          0        0       0       0       0

I'm especially interested in the meaning of the

* 1 errors
* 74 dropped
* 1 overrun

fields.

Thanks and best regards,
André
