[ixp1200] Large packets on the IXP

Abhijeet,

The fact that you have buffer overflows at so low
incoming bit rates may be an indication that your IP
forwarding code does not serve packets "quickly
enough" so that each packet is being proceesed
during a period of time that is larger than the time it is
supposed to spend in a microengine.
 
Could be a problem with your code. Or it could be a by-product
of bad thread scheduling. Check when your threads swap context.
I suggest to test your code using the Developer Workbench carefully.
