Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for your spontaneous response.

This is a staging server so it's back dated. I believe the displayed errors are important rather than the date ;-)

I think no one is aware about this issue... no worries...

Please do not top-post. When jtd asked "So what's pid 32755, 9495 etc.", he obviously, meant to point out to the fact that, there is not much info in the log messages that you posted to figure out what is causing the messages.

As someone already pointed out the log messages are very old, so jtd didn't really expect you to find any existing processes with that pid.

All that one can say by looking at those messages is that they are coming from the kernel. My own guess is, they are debug messages being emitted by some (badly written) kernel module related to the network stack.

If you are really interested in knowing where they are coming from, grep the sources of all the loaded modules for strings like "cpu%d pid%d" ...or some such.

At least someone can tell me how to generate network load on linux server.

What kind of load do you want to generate ? What is it that you are trying to do ?

Does this help? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=generate+network+load
