AFAIK the ring buffer is the hardware buffer on the NIC.
This happens if the NIC is receiving more Data than the CPU(s) can fetch
from the buffer.

Maybe bigger software buffers may help, but I suppose not much.
I think you can get a little more speed, if you patch the driver not to log
those errors, since this will eat up additional CPU cycles.
