Hi. I have a situation which may or may not be a problem. Here's my ip
configuration:
nge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.24 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::204:5aff:fe59:64f9%nge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:04:5a:59:64:f9
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
nge1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.25 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::204:5aff:fe59:5497%nge1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
ether 00:04:5a:59:54:97
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
I've been monitoring net traffic with tcpdump. Most traffic is SMB and
NMB. Tcpdump reports a very high dropped:received packet ratio. For
example, a few second of capture during peak traffic returns:
34964 packets received by filter
34085 packets dropped by kernel
Should I be concerned? I'll include full tcpdumps on both interfaces if
necessary. Thanks for your time.
