Re: large packet loss take2 2.6.31.x

Alas it's not all information I asked. E.g. "netstat -s before faulty
kernel" and "netstat -s after faulty kernel" seem to be the same file:
netstat_after.slave4.log.gz.

sorry I guess I misunderstood what you wanted? (or maybe I just dorked
it when I created all the files)  I upped a netstat -s from a good
kernel shortly after reboot.

Anyway, since there are problems with
getting stats from the router we still can't compare them, or check
for the dropped stats. (Btw, could you check for /proc/net/softnet_stat
yet?)

router? good kernel? bad kernel?

So, it might be the kernel problem you reported, but there is not
enough data to prove it. Then my proposal is to try to repeat this
problem in more "testing friendly" conditions - preferably against
some other, more up-to-date linux box, if possible?

yeah 2.6.31.6 works on my laptop fine I'll just have to see about
getting a direct connection to it. probably do that after I bring the
other NIC back from home, on thanksgiving.
