It seems like I'm on a high traffic volume network and will probably need tp
upgrade my libpcap to mmap, unfortunately, I haven't got much success. I don't
understand how to get Snort to use the new libpcap. Any pointers would be
appreciated.
I wonder how the sourcefire products solve this problem?

Hi Hugo,
Try getting rid of the -v option when you're running Snort, that may be
draining some performance and since you're in daemon mode. What's the
platform/specs of the box you're running Snort on?

I have realized that Snort has been dropping packets even I'm running
it inconjuction with Barnyard. Does anybody know what causes Snort to
drop packets? I'm running Barnyard with these options:
barnyard -c -d -g -f -s -n -w -a
and Snort with the following:
snort -c -i -g -Dv
I'm recording about 1%-2% of packets being dropped by Snort...
sometimes as high as 6%. Many thanks!
Hugo
