I am trying to use wireshark on a 344 MB tcp dump file. There are 3220951 packets in this trace. After reading in the dump, wireshark is using 3.2GB. I tried to do a search, but wireshark seemed to hang while using 7.5GB memory. I suppose I was impatient, but the memory usage seems a bit excessive to me.
I am running this on Fedora-11 with 4GB RAM, 4 Xeon cores. Is there a way to tell if wireshark is leaking, or otherwise wasting memory? Is there some way to help isolate what is causing the memory pressure? Is there some way to work around this issue? Thanks in advance, Marc Milgram ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
