Lines: 12 I'm not familier with ISC's TCP/IP implementation, but on our Prime/AT&T/ Spyder, we had problems with panics under heavy ethernet loads until we bumped up the NBLKxx, NSTREAM, and NQUEUE kernal config parameters. If your tcp/ip is STREAMS based (which I assume it is), get a dump, and use crash to look at an strstat. Good luck Dan -- Daniel A.
