accept error: no buffer space left

[Bhoyet Orillo]

can anybody out there help me with my socket
problem...my program keeps having an error
on the accept() part of the socket connection after running it for a while...and the error is "no more buffer space left"...

thanks,

Try bufpages defines the number of 4096-byte memory pages in the file-system buffer cache.

See http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/KCparam.BufPages.html

thanks for the quick reply...btw, do you know any specific reason why the buffer space during
"accept()" gets filled up...

thanks,

Hi Bhoyet

Try two things

1. I assume y have this problem with Oracle , try adding one more listner .

2. Go to the link

which essentially explains that :
when a new connect request arricves at the local tcp and it is immediately followed by a RESET from the remote system , the server application is awakened twice by the request to perform ( accept ( ) calls ) . Each is returned bu ENOBUFS or HP Error 233. The problem is the acceptin server application should not be awakened twice . This was caused by mishandling the connection id in the TPI messages . The problem is fixed by correctly tracking the connection id between the socket and TCP layers.

Also try loading the following patch PHNE_23456 to get more clues.
