Hi there; While searching archives for performance advices I came accross a mail authored by Ronnie Sahlberg (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ethereal-users&m=104681304109441&w=2) in which he points out that to capture traffic on a 100baseT full-duplex link one should use two cards for capturing each direction of the flow. Andreas Sikkema asked (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ethereal-users&m=104685253408455&w=2) how does one configure an interface to capture traffic only in one direction but I couldn't find the answer in the archives. Could someone answer this question?
I'm planning to build a sniffer for a 155Mbit/s ATM link, assuming a fully saturated link, does that mean 310Mbit/s full-duplex traffic, hence, roughly 40MB/s disk write? I'd be thankful if people with similar experiences could share their findings, the performance issue definitely deserves to be FAQ entry. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
