Ingo, you are a lifesaver! intr_queue_drops was rising very quickly, after changing queue_maxlen to 500 (from 50) the problems all went away. What's a reasonable value for that for a high load box (5000+ interrupts a second) ?
Also, while over a 1000 pings have gone through fine now, a minute or two after I made the change I saw this -- 64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=25 ttl=255 time=0.465 ms ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: sendto: No buffer space available 64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=35 ttl=255 time=0.294 ms It hasn't happened again (and I hope it doesn't) - but is that something I should look for? Thank you again - very much Dave -----Original Message----- From: Ingo Flaschberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 9:28 PM To: Dave Raven Cc: freebsd-net@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Hping/Ping Dear Dave, some more ideas: sysctl -a | fgrep ip.intr_qu Kind regards, Ingo Flaschberger _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
