Default Moblock dropping packets and ifconfig

When moblock drops a packet, does it increase the dropped packet count in ifconfig?

This is my output after 5 minutes of uptime:

Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:24:1d:8d:c9:4b
          inet addr:192.168.1.3  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::224:1dff:fe8d:c94b/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:554106 errors:0 dropped:75397194878 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1124348 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

Default Re: Moblock dropping packets and ifconfig

Just tested it here: No.

ifconfig´s dropped packets are always 0 here, even if moblock has blocked a packet.

But I don´t know what RX and TX packets are exectly

Default Re: Moblock dropping packets and ifconfig

RX = receive
TX = transmit

For me I have this:
RX packets:102886945 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:26667183 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

the errors, dropped, overruns etc are packets are "issues" that would be handled by the ethernet driver.

Moblock works outside the driver so those packets won't record with the ethernet driver and ifconfig.
