--jiz6jV+gGMQoj4lW Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have got a particular machine on our network that is seeing a very high rate of 'Ierrs' when viewing network interface stats with: $ netstat -i What possible type of errors comprise 'Ierrs'? Here is an example of the output: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll xl0 1500 <Link#1> <long mac> 92977239 5723973 95001292 0 2070292 According to this, input errors amount to about 6% of the total input packets. This number definitely exceeds the level of acceptable errors, but since I'm not quite sure what Ierrs signifies I'm not sure where to begin. Bad hardware or media? Are Ierrs received packets that are identifiable by a header, but otherwise mangled?
