Hi,

Running on 4.3-S on Dual P3/866 (self-compiled for SMP, dummynet etc.):

[root@xxx /root] # snmpwalk xxx yyy

Pushing through 20 Mbit/s steady as we speak.

This seems to have been mentioned in the beginning of April with no clear
resolution.

A few kernel options mentioned in the posts:
---
cpu             I686_CPU
maxusers        512
options         NMBCLUSTERS=16384
options         SMP                     # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
options         APIC_IO                 # Symmetric (APIC) I/O

This is a system with 1 GB of RAM.  Network card is:

fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xccc0-0xccff mem
0xf9000000-0xf90fffff,0xf9100000-0xf9100fff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci1


What's wrong?  There definitely should be enough buffers.

Also: userspace froze earlier today for some odd reason; ping and
traceroute responded, ipfw worked, tcp connection could be established but
the daemon listening to the port never replied.  Nothing in the log or the
console.  Ideas?
