Meaning
Number of times a packet descriptor could not be allocated. Packet
descriptors are used to forward Ethernet packets received by the IOPs to
the CEs. This does not indicate that incoming Ethernet packets were
dropped. The Ethernet Provider buffers some of the network packets until
the unsolicited request buffer becomes available. See also the
IOPn.EthernetProvider Show Provider Counters

times a third-party NIC driver failed to copy a received Ethernet packet to a

party NIC driver supplied a received Ethernet packet to the Ethernet
