No, not  yet, because I had no idea exactly who was responsible for what. I am using the virtio drivers and qemu. Let me look into that and see if I can find somebody to ask about it. That’s way more information that I had. I thought the “tx packets” were packets being transmitted from the vm to the bridge, not the other way around.
