You are running out of RX side resources, did you say this was UDP? I'm guessing upping your mbuf pool at least, I can't think of something in driver-wise that would help. If you have this same load going into a different nic, or different os (like say Linux) can it manage? This will take some thought, I'm not sure off the top of my head here. Jackhome | help
