This is using Cisco Router 881 as a Internet router, for my Internet bandwidth 100 Mbps. This is a new setup. Recently, I typed "int fastethernet4" (for the WAN interface), and found that there are few errors as follows:
DSL#sh int fa4
FastEthernet4 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is PQII_PRO_UEC, address is 885a.92c2.dba0 (bia 885a.92c2.dba0)

Do the following matter? As they are increasing... How about 1 lost carrier?

Thanks in advance
throttles:
Packets which can increase the processor overload include IP packets with options, expired TTL, non-ARPA encapsulation, fragmentation, tunelling, ICMP packets, packets with MTU checksum failure, RPF failure, IP checksum and length errors.
overrun:
The input rate of traffic exceeded the ability of the receiver to handle the data.
I advise you to check physical connection, what type of media you use? Check the cable length to the other side. Try to change port on cisco router.
What kind of equipment on the other side?
