Subject: why some packets lost during transmission?

hi

I try to send packets like this:

for (i=0;i<loop;i++)
{
    dev->hard_start_xmit(my_skb,dev);
}

the 'dev' point to network device.

but too many packets lost if the 'loop' is big(i.e. 5000),  I suspect the tx buffer of the NIC is full,but the driver does not print any related info.

how does the upper layer(i.e.arp,qdisc) handle this situation?

Thanks&Regards,
zhou rui
