I have a pair of T5240 machines with one general purpose ( not private ) network between them. I am running sctp traffic over this network between the two machines. In one time period, I have a burst of 24 messages roughly 3900 bytes in size going from one machine to the other. The messages contain a sequence number. The messages do not all arrive at the destination properly. Randomly, a couple of messages will be dropped. "Dropped" is defined as my application never sees them. Where did the messages get lost ? ip? sctp ? my application ? I know this test runs on other older platforms. I have not sniffed the line yet. Given that background, my question is: What does this setting in /etc/system really do ?? set ip:ip_soft_rings_cnt=16
I found this setting here... http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php?title=Networks&printable= yes#Tunable_for_general_workloads_on_T5140.2FT5240 W. Reich
