Hi all,

What is the best way to capture packets on 250mb link?
What kernel features/modules or tools (less CPU/RAM overhead) should I use?

I have FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE machine (
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz (2822.51-MHz 686-class CPU),
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
1GM RAM, ad2: 76319MB <Maxtor 6L080M0 BANC1G10> at ata1-master SATA150).

#uname -an
FreeBSD ng1.micom.mng.net 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #3: Sat Apr 26 14:08:06 ULAT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NG i386

Are there any considerations on hardware?

thanks in advance,
