I experience packet loss reported by the benchmark and I can see that it matches what I see with netstat: [root@sw174 opt]# netstat -us Udp: 26971289 packets received 7 packets to unknown port received. 32615 packet receive errors 155761284 packets sent Can someone please direct to the source code that detects such receive errors and/or suggest why such a thing could happen? Thanks Eli
