Hi,

I couldn't find a definitive answer on the web regarding following situation:

Is it technically ok if multiple pmacct instances listen to the same interface via libpcap? The interface is in promiscuous mode and is getting traffic via a mirrored switch-port.

I like it because I don't need to restart all plugins after I changed the configuration of just one plugin.

Until now it seems to work but I'm not sure how to check if all pmacct instances are processing 100% of the incoming packets. Maybe such a setup works but isn't described anywhere because it's considered too cpu demanding in high-traffic environments.

Thanks,
Franz
