FYI, the USRP2 under UHD reports underflows as async messages to the 
host that can be accessed through the API. There are no true overflows 
since the implementation drops packets on the ground when the host 
buffers fill. But you can observe packet loss by inspecting the 
timestamps on a packet. This is done in the benchmark rx example 
application.
