Hi
I am running OpenBSD 2.8. The system has Tcpdump version 3.4.0 along with
libpcap version 0.5
After running tcpdump for a while on an active network (Linux, OpenBSD and NT),
I interrupted and saw the following output at the end,
83190 packets received by filter
81285 packets dropped by kernel
Why are the packets being dropped by the kernel? The ethernet adapter is from
3Com. I was told that OpenBSD NE2000 driver drop packets. The 3Com adapter
works great. Does this mean that I cannot analyze all the traffic on the
network?
Any information is appreciated.
TIA.
