I was in the process of reviewing all the Performance Monitoring tools recommended in MOS 14777599.1. I ran a OSWatcher Analysis.

WARNING : Network data link errors observed.
Check: Section 7.1 below for more details
WARNING : Network UDP errors observed.
Advise: UDP protocol only relevant for RAC. Ignore for Non-RAC
Advise: Avoid any dropped packets in UDP protocol
Check: UDP socket receive buffer on the local machine too small
Check: The application not reading the data fast enough
Check: Section 7.3 below for more details

from above the above I doubt there's any cause for concern in this section.

from the individual oswnetstat directory log, I have the following snippet
Feb 10 17:53:18 2015
Udp:
910927838 packets received
57047 packets to unknown port received.

Should I worry about Network data link errors and Network UDP errors in this case? Of course I've already expressed that I should not worry about Network data link errors earlier, just need to confirm.
If I need to worry about Network UDP errors, what should I do next based on the following:
Check: UDP socket receive buffer on the local machine too small
Check: The application not reading the data fast enough
I doubt that I can do anything to improve the UDP socket receive buffer. Where can I found the application that causes UDP error? I could not found anything from MOS 461053.1 The OSWatcher Analyzer User's Guide regarding how to find the application that is causing problem.
thanks a lot!
