Well, I've found an entry in /proc that has some information. The entry is:

/proc/net/softnet_stat

The first two columns are:

total
dropped

In this case, dropped is the number of messages dropped due to the softnet_data
queue being full. I have actually hit this under high load.

I'm still looking for socket/protocol specific stuff though.
