+ * In "linux/net/packet/af_packet.c", at least in the
+ * 2.4.9 kernel, "tp_packets" is incremented for every
+ * packet that passes the packet filter *and* is
+ * successfully queued on the socket; "tp_drops" is
+ * incremented for every packet dropped because there's
+ * not enough free space in the socket buffer.
+ *
+ * When the statistics are returned for a PACKET_STATISTICS
+ * "getsockopt()" call, "tp_drops" is added to "tp_packets",
+ * so that "tp_packets" counts all packets handed to
+ * the PF_PACKET socket, including packets dropped because
+ * there wasn't room on the socket buffer - but not
+ * including packets that didn't pass the filter.
+ *
+ * In the BSD BPF, the count of received packets is
+ * incremented for every packet handed to BPF, regardless
+ * of whether it passed the filter.
+ *
+ * We can't make "pcap_stats()" work the same on both
+ * platforms, but the best approximation is to return
+ * "tp_packets" as the count of packets and "tp_drops"
+ * as the count of drops.
+ *
+ * Keep a running total because each call to
+ * getsockopt(handle->fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ....
+ * resets the counters to zero.
