...165049 collisions, 2 interface resets
0 babbles, 0 late collision, 73415 deferred.....
This is an interface for a cisco 3810 router on our ethernet. Where could all of these deferred packets be coming from???This is a relatively small LAN. Why can't these packets get on the wire?

The deferred counter counts the number of times the interface has tried to send a frame, but found the carrier busy at the first attempt (no carrier was sensed, meaning another station was transmitting). This does not constitute a problem, and is part of normal Ethernet operation.

Ideally your router should have a dedicated switched port and run full-duplex if available.
