[PLUG] is it normal for the kernel to drop packets when running tcpdump

^C
2021 packets captured
2805 packets received by filter
244 packets dropped by kernel
root@microlaser-IdeaPad-Slim-3-15IRU8:/home/microlaser#

I have been experimenting with running tcpdump on both my Linux box and my Mac and the kernel is dropping packets on both machines.  This was taken from my Linux box.  Is this normal?

Thank you,

Michael Lazin
