Hello,
We've installed some FreeBSD machines as Gigabit sniffers, and I'm wondering if there are any things I can tweak (e.g., buffer size) to help TCPDUMP capture better (we often see packets dropped by the kernel).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, James

Enable device polling.
Add the following options to your kernel config, and then compile and install the new kernel:
options DEVICE_POLLING
options HZ=1000
After reboot, enable polling mode on with:
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1_______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
