The setting for MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS in the startup.ncf must be increased to at
least 120 per adapter (e.g. for three adapters you should add “Set Minimum Packet
Receive Buffers = 360“ to startup.ncf). On SMP systems, you may have to multiply this
number with the number of active processors.
