Thanks for this hint, but it doesn't seem to help. Here's the output of netstat -m after a test with packet losses: 386/608/8192 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 385 mbufs allocated to data 1 mbufs allocated to packet headers 384/494/2048 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 11

Greetings, I have observed the following behaviour on FreeBSD 4.x platforms (4.0 till 4.3 seem to be affected). When receiving a sufficiently fast stream of UDP packets (the borderline seems to be around 3,500 packets/sec for e.g. the 'xl' driver on a 450MHz Pentium), an application on the recei
