Below is the netstat dump of my system. As what you can see, there is no dropping of packets received but only errors at the input level of the interface. Does anyone have any idea of what's going on at the entry of the packets? What could be the possible causes of packet errors? Or what network data has=20 been collected in the netstat when it displays error? Can someone=20 explained how FreeBSD process packets when it enters the network system in the kernel? This is to know how my system behaves before doing any step for troubleshooting. # netstat -I em0 -w 1 -d input (em0) output packets errs bytes packets errs bytes colls drops 16233 1410 24570946 13785 0 965516 0 0 16065 1262 24318048 13210 0 930566 0 0 19091 1152 28897958 15965 0 1119340 0 0 16105 1341 24380062 13827 0 975404 0 0 15999 1242 24215216 14073 0 991380 0 0 16314 1526 24695034 13531 0 946110 0 0 16319 1134 24699760 12704 0 886526 0 0 16320 1253 24698795 13752 0 966382 0 0 15900 1467 24065394 13529 0 953136 0 0 16014 1285 24239412 13018 0 912128 0 0 16219 1253 24549782 13003 0 911444 0 0 16205 1245 24528586 13504 0 947206 0 0 16003 1430 24222790 14052 0 997390 0 0 16035 1381 24269784 12641 0 881562 0 0 15909 1165 24074754 13608 0 956804 0 0 15961 1511 24151964 13501 0 953862 0 0 16217 1285 24542454 13245 0 925960 0 0 16308 1272 24683106 12444 0 861054 0 0 16323 1004 24707389 12764 0 888100 0 0 16148 1096 24442256 12663 0 888614 0 0 16534 1202 25026660 13348 0 941722 0 0 Thank you. =0A=0A=0A Get your preferred Email name!=0ANow you can @ymail.com and = @rocketmail.com. =0Ahttp://mail.promotions.yahoo.com/newdomains/ph/
