Can someone direct me to a document describing mbufs, mbuf clusters, and
how to tune the kernel allocation for them on 2.2.8?  I'd previously used
the kernel option SMBCLUSTERS to set a high number, but a recent look
through LINT doesn't show that option anymore, so I was wondering if it was
still a recognized option, or some other method of tuning was preferred.
netstat -m shows me running dangerously close to capacity, and I have been
dropping packets from time to time, I believe by hitting capacity.

Thanks!

	Brian
