okay thanks to a kind soul that pointed me to the magic of netstat -m,
i've been able to get some help on this issue.
this machine typically has about 12 people logged into it, does webservice
and a bit of mail. i was reading the manpage and it says that the network
manages a private pool of memory buffers per network device.
i'm really concerned:
bitchslap# netstat -m
63 mbufs in use:
34 mbufs allocated to data
28 mbufs allocated to packet headers
1 mbuf allocated to socket names and addresses
32/60 mapped pages in use
135 Kbytes allocated to network (58% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
bitchslap# netstat -m
151 mbufs in use:
57 mbufs allocated to data
93 mbufs allocated to packet headers
1 mbuf allocated to socket names and addresses
32/60 mapped pages in use
157 Kbytes allocated to network (64% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
it fluctuates in the 50+ to 60+ range when i'm the only person on here and
traffic is low since it just came back up :P
can i tweak this in the OS at all to allocate more resources TO the device
de0? how can i jack this up a bit? my p2 system with an fxp0 (intel)
card is around 30% and has more available to it.
is this *soley* in the hardware?
tips tricks and whatnot are very much appreciated!
