Mine looks like the following:
A box with heavy traffic : FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE
Average traffic exceeds 4GB per day.
# netstat -m
867/1120 mbufs in use:
800 mbufs allocated to data
67 mbufs allocated to packet headers
463/656/1024 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
1452 Kbytes allocated to network (71% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
# uptime
9:28AM up 206 days, 19:30, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
And a box with very light traffic : FreeBSD 4.1-20000828-STABLE
Average traffic less than 20MB per day.
$ netstat -m
207/448/4096 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
157 mbufs allocated to data
50 mbufs allocated to packet headers
117/254/1024 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
620 Kbytes allocated to network (46% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
$ uptime
9:21AM up 17 days, 17:09, 4 users, load averages: 2.02, 0.97, 0.50
The worrying thing is that the box with light traffic has had to be
rebooted because it stopped talking on the network. This happens
expecially quickly if I am using NFS a lot.
