Hi
I have my board connected to our backbone which has a huge ammount of
broadcast traffic continously (nearly 2000 machines), after a while, ecos
starts spewing out messages: and stops responding to network traffic.
warning: eth_recv out of MBUFs
setsoftnet
Can anyone tell me what the setsoftnet is supposed to do? Do I have to
implement somthing in the network driver? What can I do to
prevent this from occuring?
thanks
