I found a strange spike in one of my machine's load average. The machine does nothing (right now). The normal load average is nearly zero, the user and system usage is not more than 5 per cent. But once in a while the load average go to more than one, some times even much higher (5-20). The

Hi All! I want to bind to non-local IP and send/receive UDP packets. But when I try to connect to remote end I get an error (although bind itself is successful). I examined the udp_connect and tcp_v4_connect and I found an interesting difference between them. In udp_connect: err =
