I see that snort dropped 179457 packets because it couldn't process them.
Snort received 186246 packets
Analyzed: 6789(3.645%)
Dropped: 179457(96.355%)
My gut instinct is telling me that it dropped 179457 packets because it
felt there was no threat from them and that the 6789 it analyzed looked
suspicious.

Hi Joseph,

You have a serious problem with your Snort deployment.  The packets
Snort dropped were never inspected, period.

Can you describe your configuration?  Are you sending Snort alerts
directly to a database, without Barnyard?  Are you running any odd
rules?

Sincerely,

Richard
