[Snort-users] An OK percentage of Dropped Packets?

Subject: [Snort-users] An OK percentage of Dropped Packets?
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2004 11:08:48 -0600 (CST)
Hello,

I am just trying to figure out what an OK number of dropped packets are.

I am just sniffing right now and this the command I used: snort -v

Stats:

Snort received 3483036
Analyzed: 3461357 (99.378%)
Dropped: 21679 (0.622%)

So is this a pretty normal amount for it to drop? Do people go for awhile
with out dropping any packets?

I am running this on a 3.0 Ghz machine. I doubt the network is saturating
the monitoring port. Also I ran this test for about 1 hour.

Thanks,

Adam Cavaliere
