Hi Ben,

You don't need to use any debug commands, for memory fragmentation you will
need the following command taken at few time intervals :

R1#sh mem summ
                Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b)
Largest(b)
Processor 65856EE0 90870048 21288236 69581812 68238200
68175244
      I/O EAF00000 17825792 4463716 13362076 13341456
13344796

Watch for the difference in size between the largest memory block .... for
the buffers use :

R1#sh buffers
Buffer elements:
     1119 in free list (500 max allowed)
     10264 hits, 0 misses, 1119 created

Public buffer pools:
Small buffers, 104 bytes (total 50, permanent 50, peak 68 @ 04:20:39):
     31 in free list (20 min, 150 max allowed)
     6523 hits, 6 misses, 18 trims, 18 created
     0 failures (0 no memory)
Middle buffers, 600 bytes (total 28, permanent 25, peak 46 @ 04:20:39):
     15 in free list (10 min, 150 max allowed)
     673 hits, 7 misses, 18 trims, 21 created
     0 failures (0 no memory)
Big buffers, 1536 bytes (total 50, permanent 50):
     50 in free list (5 min, 150 max allowed)
     580 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
     0 failures (0 no memory)
VeryBig buffers, 4520 bytes (total 10, permanent 10):
     10 in free list (0 min, 100 max allowed)
     0 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
     0 failures (0 no memory)
Large buffers, 5024 bytes (total 0, permanent 0):
     0 in free list (0 min, 10 max allowed)
     0 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
     0 failures (0 no memory)
Huge buffers, 18024 bytes (total 0, permanent 0):
     0 in free list (0 min, 4 max allowed)
     0 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
     0 failures (0 no memory)

Apply the command at few time intervals .... if the total value is bigger
than max allowed you may have a buffer related issue...

HTH, Dan
