Re: Larg Recieve Packets Dropped on virtual machines

To resolve this issue, slowly increase both values in the guest OS.

To reduce burst traffic drops in Windows 2008 R2 Buffer Settings:

1. Click Start> Control Panel> Device Manager.
2. Right-click vmxnet3 and click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click Small Rx Buffers and increase the value. The default value is 1024 and the maximum is 4096.
5. Click Rx Ring #1 Size and increase the value. The default value is 512 and the maximum is 8192.

Notes: 

• It is important to increase the value of Small Rx Buffers and Rx Ring #1 gradually to avoid drastically increasing the memory overhead on the host and possibly causing performance issues if resources are close to capacity.
• If this issue occurs on only 2-3 virtual machines, set the value of Small Rx Buffers and Rx Ring #1 to the maximum value. Monitor virtual machine performance to see if this resolves the issue.
• The Small Rx Buffers and Rx Ring #1 variables affect non-jumbo frame traffic only on the adapter.

Hope this can help
