  Understanding TCP/IP Services netstat? 
 The Question is:
 
I am looking at some NIC interface statistics given to me (network MGR) by MIS.
  I have a couple of questions on them.
 
What is meant by UDP full sockets?
 
What are mbufs allocated and mbufs in use?
 
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Somebody has been looking at the netstat tool, eh?
 
  "Full sockets" indicates UDP messages that are dropped because the
  socket was unable to recieve additional packages; because the socket
  was full.
 
  As for mbufs, those are the message buffers -- those that are allocated,
  and those that are used.
 
  Details on netstat and related tools are in the TCP/IP Services tuning
  and troubleshooting manual.
