Strange, I have them in nstat:

$ nstat -z | egrep  '(TcpExtOutOfWindowIcmps|Icmp6InErrors|TcpExtTCPMinTTLDrop|TcpExtListenDrops)'
Icmp6InErrors                   0                  0.0
TcpExtOutOfWindowIcmps          0                  0.0
TcpExtListenDrops               0                  0.0
TcpExtTCPMinTTLDrop             0                  0.0

Otherwise you can manually extract them from /proc/net/netstat.

Greetings,

  Hannes
