I will need one more information -
As per code, slot len is calculated as below.
the_slot_len = pfr->slot_header_len + pfr->bucket_len;
= ALIGN(the_slot_len + sizeof(u_int16_t) /* RING_MAGIC_VALUE */,
sizeof(u_int64_t));
But below error logs slot length is logged as 65576, shouldn't this have
been quite smaller if MTU is set as 1500.
[PF_RING] ERROR: min_num_slots (409600, slot len = 65576) causes memory
size to wrap

Gautam
