Hello,
We're having some serious problems with one of our vserver enabled boxes.
We're seeing a lot of messages like this:
Oct 8 18:29:42 kernel: NET: 199 messages suppressed.
Oct 8 18:29:42 kernel: Neighbour table overflow.
Oct 8 18:29:46 kernel: NET: 173 messages suppressed.
Oct 8 18:29:46 kernel: Neighbour table overflow.
Linux version 2.4.19ctx-13 (root_at_machine) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red
Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)) #2 SMP Mon Aug 26 14:08:27 GMT 2002
I checked the uptime:
6:30pm up 3 days, 14:04, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.06, 0.05
And the interface:
ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:76:B9:8C:77
inet addr: Bcast: Mask:
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:809848397 (772.3 Mb) TX bytes:1863256636 (1776.9 Mb)
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x9000
There are a HUGE number of transmit packets in only 3 days of uptime. This
is a very lightly loaded box only doing some e-mail hosting. Does anyone
have any ideas, because I think this system is flooding our network and
causing some serious problems for us.
Thanks!
Justin
