Dear Alfredo,
                  So can I say that the actual ring memory is 4096 power of
2 which is nearly 16777216(bytes or kb or mb)? But then its showing me Min
Num Slots  6368 so what this represents and what this represent Num Free
Slots     : 6367 and about the total memory 2097152 what does this
represent? I want to find out the statistics of available memory and what
can be expanded to avoid any kind of problem like packet loss etc.

Regards,
Frwa.
