UDP errors

Hi,

I can see "udpInOverflows" errors when I execute 'netstat -s' on my Solaris box.
The number of errors are small - about 40.
e.g.
$ netstat -s|grep udp
UDP udpInDatagrams =1249190732 udpInErrors = 0
udpOutDatagrams =31663030 udpOutErrors = 0
tcpInErrs = 0 udpNoPorts =15060056
udpInCksumErrs = 0 udpInOverflows = 40
udpInCksumErrs = 0 udpInOverflows = 0

1. Could this mean a network connection issue ?
2. Does this output shows the accumulated set of stats over the period of its uptime?
3. When this stats indicators get reset - only during the reboot ?

Thanks in advance!
