I am running load test across a system with a Intel Gige interface. I
notice there are lots of rx_no_buffer_count errors:

rx_length_errors: 0
rx_over_errors: 0
rx_crc_errors: 0
rx_frame_errors: 0
rx_no_buffer_count: 14200594
rx_missed_errors: 29
tx_aborted_errors: 0
tx_carrier_errors: 0
tx_fifo_errors: 0
tx_heartbeat_errors: 0
tx_window_errors: 0

but the CPUs utilization is only about 2%. What are the conditions
that may cause this rx_no_buffer_count condition?

Thanks,
Khoa
