Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Were there any issues related to a memory leak in the routing table ? I am running freebsd-stable. After a few days vmstat -m shows the memory used by routing table to be very high and log messages "arpresolve: cant allocate llinfo for a.b.c.d" "arplookup a.b.c.d failed could not allocate llinfo" , keep repeating for every ip address that requires an arp entry to be created. I turned on "route -v monitor" and started getting the following messages "RTM_MISS: Lookup failed on this address" for most addresses. "netstat -arn" revealed routes that had a refcnt 0 zero but were not being freed. However, I think the UP flag was on for each of the routes. The machine was rebooted. It seems there is a memory leak in the routing table. Any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks jayanth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
