The mbufs are not accounted to particular processes; our TCP/IP stack is kernel code, not user space code. 8-). If you look at the output of "netstat -aA", you will get the application data pending in so_snd and so_rcv queues. You don't get the mbufs "in progress", and you don't get the size of the freelist; you can approximate the second one with "vmstat -m", but the "in progress" numbers are simply not available, because it's more important to use the memory and CPU for actual data, rather than accounting structures. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
