I mentioned this in a different post too; I should have included it in my original message.
My rl interface is on a cable modem, which tend to be very chatty with ARP traffic. The output of netstat -m ever increases; I ran a cronjob which captured it. After about 10-12 days the network would die because of lack of mbufs. This morning I switched to a "dc" interface and my mbufs usage has not moved from 135.

Me and another person both see something similar. 237 mbufs in use: 135 mbufs allocated to data 66 mbufs allocated to packet headers 36 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 125/380/6144 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 856 Kbytes allocated to network (36% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines I have no idea if this is good or not. > dmesg: > rl0 at pci0 dev 8 function 0 "Realtek 8139" rev 0x10: irq 11, address > 00:48:54:65:39:5a rlphy0 at rl0 phy 0: RTL internal PHY rl0 at pci1 dev 10 function 0 "Realtek 8139" rev 0x10: irq 11, address 00:10:a7:0b:16:ed rlphy0 at rl0 phy 0: RTL internal PHY Greetings, Hans
