Hi,
I was wondering why is that the network device's drop statistics
(/proc/net/dev) doesn't consider the drops from device queue. What I
mean is, if enqueing the packet [q->enqueue called in dev_queue_xmit( )
] results in NET_XMIT_DROP or NET_XMIT_CN or NET_XMIT_POLICED, we should
be incrementing the device drop statistics. Otherwise, it looks like
there will be an inconsistency of tcp packets sent (seen from netstat
-s) to the data from the adapter (Tx-OK and TX-DRP from netstat -i ).
Let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks
Prashanth
