My environment is setup with three machines, one for monitoring/reassembling via libpcap/winpcap/libnet/libnids, another machine for sending TCP/IP traffic via sockets and another for reassembling this traffic via sockets, for example a simple file copy from one machine to the other via TCP/IP Sockets. All packets are getting to and from the two machines without problems no matter what the rate is. When the rate is low, the monitoring machine works flawlessly, but when I increase the rate, I only being able to reassemble 50-80% of the time
