Hi I don't think I can use netstat -s becuase it reports numbers from the kernel networking stack - tcp connections and so on. I am bypassing this stack and reading from the NIC in promiscous mode - into a packet sniffer program. NoCanPut is defined as
3. Ethernet Drivers and nocanput Failures Ethernet drivers receive messages and pass them to the module above it in the interrupt context. Before this message passing takes place, the driver checks to see if there is room in the queue of the next upper module with a service procedure by using the canputnext(9F) kernel routine. If the queue is full (for example, the q_count is greater than high watermark), then canputnext() fails (returns 0) and the message gets dropped. The Ethernet driver increments the nocanput counter when this happens. The value of the nocanput count can be viewed using netstat -k command. (http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/streams_bandwith.html) (cannot use netstat -k anymore) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is the problem that I am not using a "module above" the driver as described here - because I am bypassing the networking stack? Is that why I get a core dump?
