RHEL5 incorrect netstat statistics
Folks,
I am running multicast benchmark on RHEL5 systems. One RHEL5 system sends multicast packets and other RHEL5 system is the receiver. I use "netstat -su" to look at the counters and I noticed that whenever I have packet loss the "packet receive errors" is always increased by factor of two (i.e., if 100 packets are lost the counter is increased by 200).
Is this a bug or does it increase once for multicast and once to udp?
Thanks.
