i386, OpenBSD 3.9-beta (GENERIC) #597: Sun Feb 5 21:14:35 MST 2006 Just played around pinging to see the following:
Pinging from box A (10.0.0.13) to box B (10.0.0.5) with "sudo ping -f -s 1024 10.0.0.5" Everything fine. Fire up another xterm, fire up the same ping a second time -> wow. [...] ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ....................ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 .ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 .ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 .ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 .ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 .ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ......ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 10.0.0.5 1032 chars, ret=-1 [...] And so on... As soon as I kill one floodping, the other runs fine again. Box A has a fxp0, box B a re0, connected via a cheap Gigabit Switch. (Just drop a line if you need the full dmesg.) Not that I'm too concerned since this isn't a "real world problem" to me, but hey, who knows ;-) kind regards, oliver
