Buffer size/chunk size

[gurvindersingh]

I am wondering what is the buffer size allocated to the device by default and can I increase the buffer size, so that if the end application is bit slow in processing packets it can handle the bursts by having a large buffer size. Another thing is that the current max allowed chunk size is 4096, which seems to be low for application which need to process the packet not just count.

Last issue is that the drop packet count indicated by ethtool is for whole device, it would be really nice to know the drop count per queue.

Thanks,
