Readynas Pro 6 (Dropped Rx)
Hi guys, It's been a week that I have been running my new PRO 6 and have been noticing dropped Rx packets every day. Here are the stats from my bond nic: TX packets 3615 TX errors 0 TX drop...
Yeah, I'm always suspicious about accuracy of stats.

Dropped packets are supposed to be packets that the NIC card receives but has no place to put. There are two causes I know of (in theory) - one is that the receiver doesn't have enough buffering, the second is that the receiver isn't expecting / reading packets from that particular source. I expect the second scenario is happening here. You could confirm this by setting up VLC (or some other streamer) to send something to the NAS, and see if the dropped stats go up.
