try increasing the B parameter to 16k

try writing the output to a file (-w filename) and watch for dropped packets there, then read it to see the numbers with

tcpdump -nn -r filename |cut -c 1-8 |uniq -c

(no need for filters as the contents of the file were already filtered)

it's interesting that with the higher packet rate, your actually get fewer packets successfully received most of the time.
