Yeah, you have made the things clear to me. I just wondered why would I mess them up. So, in my understanding, those packets that are dropped by iptables in fact have been received by the NICs, and that is the reason the "dropped' value are not added up. And here comes my original question: When will the 'dropped' count up? (Just want to know some general ideas) -- Sincerely, Jyo
