Hello Jonathan,
we are working at the same topic on a Linux Debian system.
I suggest that you adjust the following kernel parameters in order to
improve the number of packets captured (I don't know the equivalence in
Solaris...).
/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default 409715100 bytes
/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max 409715100 bytes
/proc/sys/net/core/netdev_max_backlog 300000 pkts
I found this article very useful:
http://datatag.web.cern.ch/datatag/howto/tcp.html
It is about "How to achieve Gigabit speeds with Linux", but I
think Solaris users may find it interesting as well.

Hi guys,
I am working on a network monitoring system on solaris. Currently I am
just working on the packet capturing engine and I seems to experience
packet drops. After reading through the archives and goggling, I
suspect that the problem may be due to insufficient buffering in the
kernel. Is there any suggestions on how I can modify pcap-dlpi.c to
increase the kernel buffering?
