ToDevice v/s Linux

[arvind]

Hello,

I have some questions about these lines from the documentation:
"The Linux networking code may also send packets out the device. Click won't see those packets. Worse, Linux may cause the device to be busy when a ToDevice wants to send a packet. Click is not clever enough to re-queue such packets, and discards them "

I am keeping track of statistics involving the number of packets sent out from a router.

1. To what degree of reliability can I asume that Click is sending 'all' the packets out from the ToDevice element.
2. Has some measurements been done regarding how often this 'Worse' case happens ?

Thanks.
