Thank you Les, John, for the reply.
One thing that I noticed is that there are lots of nfs connections in
TIME_WAIT. And since I have been facing problems with NFS (ie. taking
too much time to cd to a mounting area on client) the problems regarding
network appeared.
The TIME_WAIT connections does not free memory, rigth? Do you believe
that NFS might be creating a network congestion? Among NFS optimization
possibilities is that one in particular that take more effect to avoid
performance problems in your oppinion?
TIME_WAIT states happen when you close a TCP connection which shouldn't
happen at all on nailed-up mounts. Do you have the automounter set up
for short timeouts and something that could be traversing the mount
points frequently to stir up traffic and connections? You could switch
to UDP to avoid the TCP state handshakes and overhead.
