NMBCLUSTERS is set to 40000 on wcarchive. :-)
[wcarchive:davidg] netstat -m
27840 mbufs in use:
23361 mbufs allocated to data
4457 mbufs allocated to packet headers
17 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks
5 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
22441/33460 mbuf clusters in use
70400 Kbytes allocated to network (9% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
...you need to relocate the kernel lower in virtual memory before this
can be done, however. I don't know how one would do that in NetBSD, however.
