Intel em0: watchdog timeout

I have a backup server sitting here that I am going to load 7.3-RC1 onto
and test with it. It is the exact duplicate hardware so that should
help with the upgraded driver. Does it make sence to go to 8.0?
Here is the mbuf usage on this server. I'm nore sure exactly how to
read this but it seem to looks OK.
# netstat -m
8181/5904/14085 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
7159/3471/10630/25600 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)

With the increased load you might be running out of mbufs more easily,
would suggest you increase the mbuf pool.
This is an old old driver now, you might consider going to something a
bit more recent.

Hi,
I have a FreeBSD server running Quagga as a BGP router.
It has
a number of interfaces in it both bce and em. The most heavily
used
interfaces are starting to give me watchdog timeout errors just
in the
last week. We normally sustain about 300Mb/s on both of these
interfaces but in the last week this now up to 380Mb/s.
This is a Intel Pro/1000 PT dual interface PCI-E card.
There is
two of them in the server. The server is a Dell 2950
Searching the mailing list and checking on google has not
turned
up much. Since this is our main router it is difficult to test
with. I
have seen one message that suggests trying to set hw.em.rxd=1024
and
hw.em.txd=1024 in loader.conf and another that suggested turning
off
but none this has not made any difference.
The odd thing is that this just started. This box has
been up
and running fine for a while. The only thing different on our
network
had been an increase in the bandwidth.
Any idea where I go from here to trouble shoot this?
