Thread-topic: [Xen-users] high ? number of dropped packet on xen vif

Which version of Xen are you running here, 3.0.0?

Is this a soft hang that later recovers?

Which counters are you referring to here? The TX fields of the vifX.0
interface?

If you built from source, please modify xen/Rules.mk to turn on debug=y
and then rebuild.

Thanks,
Ian
