Hi, I'm trying to get some information about UDP packet drops. netstat on freeBSD gives explicit information if packets are dropped due to full socket buffers. In Linux (RH6.2) netstat just talks about UDP 'packet receive errors' Do these include socket buffer drops ? If so, then what else are possible packet receiver errors If not, then what is the best way to get this information Thanks Gaurav -------------------------------- freebsd udp: 3273476 datagrams received 0 with incomplete header 0 with bad data length field 0 with bad checksum 66425 dropped due to no socket 7667 broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket 320302 dropped due to full socket buffers 0 not for hashed pcb 2879082 delivered 2901479 datagrams output -------------------------------- linux Udp: 75050 packets received 8 packets to unknown port received. 0 packet receive errors 73905 packets sent ------------------------------- - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
