Poking around the system, I discovered the "m" option to netstat and got this: 261 mbufs in use 74/17088 mbuf clusters in use (current/max) 0/4/4528 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max) 213 KBytes allocated to network 0 requests for sfbufs denied 0 requests for sfbufs delayed 0 requests for I/O initiated by sendfile 935 calls to protocol drain routines ... which would be a lot more useful if I had a reference standard. Which I can't seen to find. This was taken on a system which has had minimal network traffic for several hours. How would I expect things to change as load increased? What are the warning signs the network is approaching saturation? Robert "happy to just be curious" Huff
