UDP error

[Ian Caddy]

Hi,

The if_stats and mbuf_stats can be called at anytime and will print out 
the statistics to your default console, I assume you have one of these.

Depending on how quickly you get this no buffers error, I would setup a 
test task (or use one that is already in a loop) that called these 
functions every x seconds (minutes, depending on time between errors). 
You could then see how your buffers were progressing.

Once you get the no buffers error, it is too late to see as you know you 
have none left.

In this way you can see if you have a gradual buffer problem, with you 
constantly having less buffers, or something happens to sort of make 
everything stop and suddenly you run out of buffers.

Talk to you soon,

Ian Caddy
