Doug White once suggested netstat -m # netstat -m 17 mbufs in use: 3 mbufs allocated to data 1 mbufs allocated to packet headers 11 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 2 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 0/20 mbuf clusters in use 42 Kbytes allocated to network (5% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines That looks pretty good to me, tho I don't understand it.
