Sooooo... here is whatwe found. Thanks for the netstat -k
recommendation - i dont know why that didnt occur to us before.
Basically, when ge_queue_cnt goes up - we see the ge_queue_full_cnt
increment. After analysing the traffic a bit more, it looks just like a
rate issue on the interface - not a bandwidth issue - due to the large
number of stats coming across the interface.

Regards,

Justin
