Hello,

 I am quite new to socket can and I had a question about the output of the
command: ip -details -statistics link show can0. When I run the above
command I get the following output:

re-started bus-errors arbit-lost error-warn error-pass bus-off
    0          0          0          0          0          0
    RX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped overrun mcast
    3956387    948121    11      0           11          0
    TX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped carrier collsns
    100        44       0       0       0       0


I see that I received 11 errors packets (all of them being rx overrun
errors) and that no packets were dropped. Does the dropped field refer to
packets lost in userspace (i.e because they weren't being read fast enough
and the socket receive buffer overflowed) or does the dropped packet field
refer to dropped packets being dropped somewhere other than userspace?

Thanks,

Ernast
