These errors are written to my alert log file during backup operation to NFS mounted backup store. The root cause is tcp_max_buf  is set too small. The error can be fixed by increasing the value of tcp_max_buf.

To display its current value, please run:

# /usr/sbin/ndd /dev/tcp tcp_max_buf
1048576

And increase as following

# /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_max_buf 1056768
