Moca 2.5 - What would cause Rx Dropped Packets?

[kelllogg9]

So i have 2xActiontec Moca 2.5 (w/true 2.5 GBe ethernet ports)) units (model #: ECB7250). Firmware version: 1.18.2.0.
One of my units, under Device Status has a section that shows "Ethernet RX" with "Rx Dropped" showing 1593 packets. Snapshot:

My other unit does not have any dropped packets under Tx nor Rx. What would cause these Rx Dropped to be > 0 for this 1 unit?

The unit wiht the Rx Dropped @ 1593 is shown above as Device "0". Not sure why 0->0 is 698 while device 1->1 is 701. I have read this is meaningless but i wish both were the same # (e.g. 701).

Could be QOS... dropping packets is typical here in QOS depending on the traffic flows.

Note that you're seeing dropped packets, but they are not bad packets...

Much appreciated for the insight! I will look into QOS.

I wouldn't worry about it too much...
