Re: [e1000 2.6 10/11] TxDescriptors -> 1024 default

      Do not make these a UDP issue. It is much easier today to overrun the
Tx queue as  N TCP connections can be running in parallel on different
CPU's.

You can see these on the data I sent out.

taking into consideration that these are 4way systems at Ghz speeds.

As I said, this is expected.

And please CC the netdev@oss.sgi.com mailing list, where technical
discussions like this are held.
