Hi Robin,
           I am trying out the 'netstress' test while testing my 10G NIC Driver 
, while the 12 hr stress test passes and then moves on to the 'max sessions 
test' it invariably ends up in a situtation where an odd session fails to 
connect initially ... like the MAX results are always 2997/29998 out of 3000 
sessions:Failed ...
There have been instances where i have seen the same pass as well... .

I tried recreating the same testcase by hand, i.e start netservers on both SUT 
and client , run start_netperf.sh with appropriate paramenters (1500 sessions) 
from client  ,waited for a little while and then did the other way around, ran 
start_netperf.sh from SUT ...
I got the following error msg 4 times :

netperf: data send error: Transport endpoint is not connected

i typed 'ps -A | grep netperf/netserve | wc -l ' on both the systems and 
confirmed that the SUT was 4 netperf sessions short, I immediately created 4 
netperf sessions by hand with the same parameters as expected in the test case 
and sure enough there were a total of 3K sessions running and they all ran 
fine... Usually that's what seems to be happening , there seems to some glitch 
while setting up the sessions initially , but on trying it again ,they all seem 
to work just fine..

Is this really a bug in the driver that i need to look at or is this something 
not too serious?

Thanks
Somnath
