Subject:   how many mbuf clusters???
Message-ID:  <199703121033.AAA09709@caliban.dihelix.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
On a 2.1.7 machine "netstat -m" shows:

103 mbufs in use:
        66 mbufs allocated to data
        25 mbufs allocated to packet headers
        8 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks
        4 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
65/118 mbuf clusters in use
248 Kbytes allocated to network (57% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines            


I have 256 users defined in the kernel so I would have expected to see
(512 + 256 * 16) = 4608 mbuf clusters. Yes?

I am reading this totally wrong?


For an machine to have heavy hits and about 200 virtual domains what should
my network buffers look like?

Any help or wooden sticks are appriciated.
