If I'm not mistaken, if "transmit-buffers backing-store" is enabled on the
interface and there's insufficient bandwidth to immediately transmit a packet,
the CPU will copy the packet to System buffers and will increment the "output
buffer swapped out" counter. Then if sufficient bandwidth exists to transmit
the packet before system buffers are full, it won't be dropped.
