getting packet dropperd on interface

[Benjamin]

  Hi,

my output of command :

ethtool -g em1

Ring parameters for em1:
Pre-set maximums:
RX:        4096
RX Mini:    0
RX Jumbo:    0
TX:        4096

Current hardware settings:
RX:        1024
RX Mini:    0
RX Jumbo:    0
TX:        1024

before current value for RX and TX are 256 and i increased it by 1024 
for both RX and TX. But still we having packet loss on interface.

How to verify that buffer full for RX and TX?

Regards,
Benjo
