The packet drop above is the packet drop rate reported by tcpdump or by driver? I had similar setup and see few tcpdmp packet drop rate (on Linux 2.4), but that's because most (99%) drops occur at the driver: these packets never reach the kernel. If pcap perf is sniffing rate, then it really depends on the driver. -yuchung - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
