Statistics of reception data path error -- counts packets that hit an error specifically in the CPU's receive data path processing (as opposed to a simple reception error). This is one column of the dellNetFpCpuDataPlaneStatsTable, indexed by processor device type and device index, so it reports a running count for the CPU's own "fast path" packet-handling engine rather than for any one front-panel port. An admin escalates a climbing count here to Dell/Force10 support along with the specific software/firmware version, since data-path errors of this kind usually indicate a driver or hardware fault rather than something an admin can tune.
