Hi, Eric && David ____ ______________ | | | | | PC |<------->| MIPS 32 core | |____| |______________| When ping from a PC to a board (MIPS 32 core), because of socket limit, ping echo will fail. But ICMP_MIB_OUTERRORS counter is not incremented. In this case, "netstat -s" can not report these errors. This patch will fix this problem. Now it is in the attachment. Please check it. Best Regards! Zhu Yanjun
