| |
Hi,
Has anyone else seen a lot of overruns while serving multicast on a pretty loaded (60%) network, with 3c59x cards ? (BTW What exactly are "overruns" ? Are they buffer overflows on the NIC side or buffer overflows on the kernel side, because the software can't follow, or even something completely different ?) We're seeing a lot of overruns on a server which has to handle a lot of connections. Those connections are handled by a Java program using the IBM Java JDK 1.1.8 on a Linux 2.2.16 kernel. After a while the network freezes. I can't ping nor ssh to the machine. Restarting the network scripts solves the problem. Any suggestions ? Tnx,
Arnaud
