Hello,
We've installed some FreeBSD machines as Gigabit sniffers, and I'm wondering if there are any things I can tweak (e.g., buffer size) to help TCPDUMP capture better (we often see packets dropped by the kernel).
Any advice would be appreciated.
This:
sysctl debug.bpf_bufsize=8388608 sysctl debug.bpf_maxbufsize=8388608
As a general rule, you need a decent Pentium 4 to capture > 20K packets/sec without drops.
