Hi Linus,
In the hope of stopping complaints like "kapmd is using up all

I'm not so sure---it's very attractive for data acquisition
devices to throw generic UDP packets onto the net to be vacuumed
up by general-purpose machines. (Multicast can be nice
here too; load balancing, redundancy.)

Have you considered checking /proc/net/dev_stat (first entry)
to see whether NET4 is dropping packets due to backlog
maximums? If there is a non-zero entry there, you might try
uping /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_max_backlog from the default
