NMBCLUSER  
On occasion we have io-pkt-v4 that self terminate ( no dump file ).  All I could see, is a message about increasing 
NMBCLUSTERS in sloginfo.  I guess I could do that with sysctl kern.mbuf.nmbclusters but i'd like to understand what is 
this about?  Is increasing the value the real solution, what is the cause.

I'm not yet sure but I believe doing a MsgSend of 10MBytes of data will do that.

io-pkt reached the kern.nbuf.nmbcluster limit.  It doesn't
exit on that condition though; however things may limp
along if packet buffers can't be allocated.

Thanks Sean,

Is this related to rx and tx descriptor?  I have 2048 rx and 2048 tx and there are two interfaces for a total of 8192 
which is the number of nmbclusters available.

Yes, check out 'netstat -m'.

Thanks, maybe at startup or when interfaces are mounted, io-pkt-v4 should do something about having more descriptors 
then mbuf?
