Hello ,
Im using Frebsd as a syslog server at work. Everything seemed to be ok
untill i decided to run
"netstat -s -p udp"
as part of my nitely reporting. there are 5 routers pointed at this syslog
server so it seen ALOT of UDP traffic
ive noticed the following :
UDP stats:
udp:
38123594 datagrams received
0 with incomplete header
0 with bad data length field
2 with bad checksum
352023 with no checksum
319427 dropped due to no socket
386465 broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket
5775699 dropped due to full socket buffers
0 not for hashed pcb
31642001 delivered
15879668 datagrams output
the errors im concerned about are
5775699 dropped due to full socket buffers
and
319427 dropped due to no socket
the first makes me think that the buffers are depleted and cant written to
if so ...how do i correct this ?
any help is very appreciated
