The traffic in these interfaces is large, but not too large for the Dell to handle it. Is there any way to correct these overrun errors, by increasing some buffer? I changed the net.core.netdev_max_backlog parameter to 2000 (it was 300) but the errors remain. Do you think that a new network driver will solve this issue? Thanks in advance Ellie
