Q
Broadcom 25G NIC card packets dropped. (BCM957412M4122C/BCM957414M4142C)
A

The "rx_drops" counter reported by ethtool -S includes dropped packets

that don't match the unicast and multicast filters in the hardware.  A

non-zero count is normal and does not generally reflect any error conditions.

This counter should not be confused with the "RX-DRP" counter reported by

netstat -i.  The latter reflects dropped packets due to buffer overflow conditions.
