ping: sendto: No buffer space available

[Balázs Mátéffy]

Hello,

I had a similar problem sometimes on one or two of my machines, look up
netstat -m, usually if you run out of buffer space you have to tweak the
mbuf memory size.

You can see the memory usage current / cache / total, if the current or
cache is the same value as the total, you have memory shortage.

You can search for it, there are plenty of mail list archives about issue
like this.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

MB.
