For this situation, you can run "netstat -m" to see if there is mbuf outage.
Attached is a shell script to watch mbuf usage in 1 second interval.
If you see the maximum-used (peak) count reach (or close) to the "max",
and the cur count changes dramatically during your test, you then may have
memory issue.
If you do not see such memory problem, then you need to prepare to use
following tools together to do the diagnose:
tcpdump (tcpdpriv if you do not want to give out your IP info.)
iperf or netest
show-mbuf script
Let me know what show-mbuf says.
