Hi all, 

Im doing some tests and after capturing 6 days longs, with peaks of 1,6
Mbps, with averages of 2,0 kbps, with  total packets received
(ntop)=812,041, I find only 263,530 packets processed, and a 10% of
dropped (libpcap). 

The hard I am using is not the best in the market, but is not that bad:
Pentium 4 CPU 1500Hz, 1 G RAM, Debian 2.6.18-4-686.

Can anyone give me any clue about the reasons of dropped packets by
libpcap? Where can I gather information regarding performance of
libpcap, what things can be done for decreasing packet lost, or at least
the reason of this behaviour?  

Thanks in advance, 

Jorge
