Jesse, Dmesg hasn't changed for a while .. and sadly it is not time-stamped. Below is the tail:

Assuming yes, it's unlikely that they are caused by OVS directly because those are hardware counters. Since OVS runs before hardware transmit, in order for the packet to be dropped in hardware it would have to already have passed through OVS. What are the outputs of dmesg and ovs-dpctl show? _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
