Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi fellow VxWorks users,

Since I migrated most of our IOCs from VxWorks 5.5 to VxWorks 6.9, I notices a severe network driver problem.
After running fine for weeks or months, suddenly the tNet0 tasks consumed 100% CPU and stays so, which of course makes
the IOC unusable. Only reboot helps. This happens on multiple IOCs but not synchronously.

It looks like the tNet0 task is constantly timing out and trying to drop some connection. But I cannot find out which
one. Any network diagnostics function freezes in ipcom_block_wait at a semaphore.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
