packet_receive_errors vs packet drops

hi @hwahdan

AFAIK, packet error means it is received well in the NIC, but the CRC calculation it is somewhat altered (not the same with the data sent by sender)

while packet dropped means it is dropped i.e during receiving, for example, it already arrived in the NIC buffer, ready to be fetched by kernel network stack, but since incoming data rate is way more rapid than the kernel could read, then one or more packet need to be dropped to make room in NIC buffer

hope it helps
