My contribution to the pool is easily able cope with the requests that its getting except that I am running up against a limit that appears to be built into the kernel handling of udp requests.
My logs are routinely filled with things like Apr 25 11:36:21 n118 ntpd[56093]: too many recvbufs allocated (40) Apr 25 11:36:21 n118 last message repeated 3 times Apr 25 14:17:03 n118 ntpd[56093]: too many recvbufs allocated (40) Apr 25 14:17:03 n118 last message repeated 3 times Apr 25 14:46:14 n118 ntpd[56093]: too many recvbufs allocated (40) Apr 25 14:54:10 n118 last message repeated 24 times Apr 25 15:00:05 n118 last message repeated 32 times Apr 25 15:20:02 n118 ntpd[56093]: too many recvbufs allocated (40) Apr 25 15:30:00 n118 last message repeated 21 times Apr 25 15:37:56 n118 last message repeated 28 times Apr 25 15:45:18 n118 last message repeated 12 times It appears that I am dropping requests that I could otherwise answer. I've got the bandwidth, memory and CPU to handle more than I'm currently taking, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to increase the udp receive buffers on FreeBSD (6.2-RELEASE p3) Cheers, -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
