You don't actually disable or allow source quench, they are a condition

Source Quench messages are sent when the destination is unable to process traffic as fast as the source is sending it. The Source Quench ICMP tells the source to cut back
the rate at which it is sending data. The destination will continue to generate
Source Quench ICMPs until the source is sending at an acceptable speed.

Hi,

You don't actually disable it, but this is how to remove the messages from appearing.

# ndd -set /dev/ip ip_send_source_quench 0

To disable it permanently update the /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf file with this:

TRANSPORT_NAME[X]=ip
NDD_NAME[X]=ip_send_source_quench
NDD_VALUE[X]=0

Where X is the next logical numerical sequence in a table of values, with X starting at 0

Hi,

If the message is originating from the HP there was one known issue w/ rpcd and sock_raw socket which was solved in PHSS_17810. Check to see if you have that patch or a later version so that you are not having this issue.


Settting that ndd parameter mentioned above will also stop the HP from sending the source quench, but the patch is required if you still see them generated.

PHSS_17810 has been superceded by PHSS_27962
