Hi I'm using this box to route several networks over nine SMC Etherpower II NICs, so that several UDP packets pass the box. When I try to see how many UDP packets have been delivered I see a UDP delivery counter which is counting down! On all other BSD boxes I have this counter is getting more not less. Look at that: # while true ; do netstat -ss -p udp | grep deli ; sleep 1 ; done 4292032523 delivered 4292032521 delivered 4292032519 delivered 4292032519 delivered 4292032519 delivered 4292032510 delivered 4292032507 delivered 4292032507 delivered 4292032501 delivered 4292032495 delivered 4292032488 delivered 4292032485 delivered 4292032485 delivered Strange? Fix: I had the same problem on NetApp Fliers with the network packet counter. They have tool to zero the stats if they overrun the buffer after several days of high traffic. It would be very usefull to implement such a tool. How-To-Repeat: while true ; do netstat -ss -p udp | grep deli ; sleep 1 ; done
