Abstract
Example methods and systems for memory leak detection. One example may comprise: identifying a set of memory buffers that are available for storing packet information that requires processing by the network device; a first subset that includes one or more first memory buffers that are unallocated, and a second subset that includes one or more second memory buffers that are allocated and storing packet information that is being processed by the network device. The method may also comprise: performing a comparison between (a) the set of memory buffers and (b) the first subset and the second subset; and based on the comparison, identifying a third subset that includes one or more third memory buffers, being leaked memory buffers, that are storing packet information that is no longer being processed by the network device.
