None of the Tru64 networking books really break down
netstat output, which is what I'm looking for. Can
anyone tell me why I see very few "fragments recieved"
versus "packets recieved" on all of my server's but
this one? The packets recieved and fragments recieved
are almost equal on Jupiter. Does this have to do
with MTU size perhaps? All the servers on my network
are set up the same (as far as I can tell). I'm just
looking for guidance as to what's an acceptable value
(if any) for "fragments recieved". Thanks.
