will cause the server to attempt to store dumps from the client in

The server will not automatically create the relative directory.
+.It Va net.netdump.polls
+The client will poll the configured network interface while waiting for
+acknowledgements.
+This parameter controls the maximum number of poll attempts before giving
+up, which typically results in a re-transmit.
+Each poll attempt takes 0.5ms.
+.It Va net.netdump.retries
+The number of times the client will re-transmit a packet before aborting
+a dump due to a lack of acknowledgement.
+The default may be too small in environments with lots of packet loss.
+.It Va net.netdump.arp_retries
+The number of times the client will attempt to learn the MAC address of
+the configured gateway or server before giving up and aborting the dump.
