Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-3-amd64 Severity: wishlist dropwatch is a program to "improve our ability to detect and understand packets that get dropped within the (network) stack". See https://fedorahosted.org/dropwatch/ for more info.
dropwatch depends on the kernel-side option NET_DROP_MONITOR: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.33/net/Kconfig#L238 This enables a netlink-based protocol for monitoring of dropped network packets. Arguments for inclusion: *) Detection of packet drops in the network stack becomes much more precise. *) The runtime cost of enabling this feature should be minimal, in the common case where no userspace applications have enabled the dropwatch tracepoints. More info can be found in the upstream patch submission: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=123609949307113&w=2 *) Fedora ships NET_DROP_MONITOR=y and the dropwatch package, so the config option has received a fair bit of testing. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
