I agree with Konstantin that there are 2 different cases: a) the packet is properly received by the hardware, but has a bad checksum (or another protocol error, for instance an invalid ip len, a ip_version == 8 :)) in this case, it is useful to the application to have the mbuf with the data + an error flag. Then using a tcpdump-like tool could help to debug what is the cause of the error and what equipment generates a bad packet. b) the packet is not properly received by the hardware. In this case the data is invalid in the mbuf and not useable by the application. I suggest to only have a stats counter in this case, as receiving the mbuf is cpu time consuming and the only thing the application can do is to drop the packet. Regards, Olivier
