Growing the buffer is a solution. I only get a few of these very rarely which tells me that the system is keeping up 99.999% of the time. Increasing the buffer size will, statistically speaking, increase that by another .0009%, which is all I'm looking for. Growing the buffer will allow the amont of latency in the worst case to expand, which is what I want. Also, it will work around the problem until I can get a better solution.... At least for my setup. I have a 486DX2-66 with lots of filter rules. I suspect that what is happening is lots of tiny packets are coming in which is causing increased latency in some cases.
