Is there any such value available ? netstat -s shows "TCP resets sent" counter which is incremented in a overrun scenario. Unfortunatelly this is not socket specific, however it is a good idea to monitor that counter closely. This is BTW common to java servers (if GC runs). > patch to netstat ? so the /proc/...rx_queue should be ok to use to get > this number ? or were there some additional values exposed by the > kernel. Kernel patched to hand the connection-slots current/max to netstat for listening sockets. I think I will change the header for "netstat -l" to "maxlisten backlog" or something?
