What kind of NIC are you using?HP NC7781 Gigabit adapterIf you fire up tcpdump, does it loose packets too, or just snort?Yes. Half was received by filter and half was dropped by kernel.
Sounds like the problem is not snort-specific. How much bandwidth is on that adapter? Is it really a gigabit connection, or is it feeding a lower-speed line? Is the card on a PCI bus, or something faster such as PCI-X or PCI-E? It's fairly difficult for a pcap app to keep up with bursts of gigabit data. Heck, it's even difficult for the plain PCI bus to keep up with gigabit for a sustained period. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
