Hi Nishit, The rx_no_dma_resources means we are dropping packets because we don't have any free descriptors in the RX Queue. While rx_missed_errors are due to insufficient space to store an ingress packet, so basically we ran out of buffers or bandwidth on the PCIe bus.
All that said when you see the rx_no_dma_resources errors is their rate comparable with what you were seeing for rx_missed_errors? Both will lead to the same thing, dropped packets. Also what does 'lspci -vvv' show, I'm looking to see if you are getting the full PCIe bandwidth. You could also try to turn on FC which should lower these types of overflow occurrences.
