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 -- Brent Bailey
