>
> Hi All,
> I'm using eCosPro from pre eCos 3.0 to serve web pages with embedded
> images, CSS and javascripts.
> Some pages are set to refresh their content and eventually the application runs
> out of MBUFs and restarts.
> I can use my own web server or the CYGPKG_HTTPD server with the same
> result.
>
> I used the CYGPKG_HTTPD server on port 81 to monitor network stats.
> What I find is that the âHEADERâ type MBUFs grow and never shrink, eventually
> running out of MBUFs completely.
> The amount of growth in each iteration varies.
> When I dump the data in the HEADER MBUFs (modified support.c to print these
> short MBUFs) and compared them to the network traffic seen by wireshark I
> have confirmed that the HEADERs are correct ACK packets sent at the close of
> various HTTP get sequences.
> For some reason they are not being released.
>
> I also found that the number of timeout entries (NTIMEOUTS) in timeout.c
> (default 8) is WAY below what is needed (about 70 being used).
>
> I'm thinking it's something to do with TIME_WAIT not closing the tcpcb when it
> should.
>
> Has anyone seen this before or can suggest a way to troubleshoot this?
>
> Thanks ...Laurie:{)
