The oactives counters for igc2:0:txq:[0-3] are > 0, but didn't increase
during the last 12 hours. Same for the qdrops.
But at this moment I'm getting about 1200 NTP requests per second, as I
lowered the bandwith setting in the pool a bit (to avoid getting removed
from the pool). At the moment, there seem to be no or very little packet
loss.
I will increase the setting temporarily and see what happens with the
counters.
