Hello Markus,

On the new server I don't have any drops at all.

root@netflow:~# cat /proc/net/udp
  sl  local_address rem_address   st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when
retrnsmt   uid  timeout inode ref pointer drops
  696: 00000000:0044 00000000:0000 07 00000000:00000000 00:00000000
00000000     0        0 10611 2 ffff88007b36c780 0
  751: 00000000:307B 00000000:0000 07 00000000:00000000 00:00000000
00000000     0        0 10580 2 ffff88007b36cb00 0

So that's not an issue.
