 I found this very suggestion on several mailing list discussions [1] and =
 set these values on Saturday.
 kern.ipc.nmbclusters=3D"131072"
 hw.igb.num_queues=3D"2"
 So far everything seems to back to normal, and netstat -m shows plenty =
 of headroom now.=20
 
 The problem cropped up after running several months on 9.0-RELEASE when =
 I  brought up another interface. Disabling the new interface didn't =
 restore normal operation, however. I also tried 8.3-RELEASE but the =
 problem was worse on it.
