Please forgive the slight tangent.

I commonly take captures with Solaris snoop and do off-line decodes with ethereal. Under some conditions, the snoop capture program can't keep up with the data stream and drops packets. Does anyone know of tricks to minimize dropped packets? (I'll try increasing the process priority.) Are there any kernel tunables (e.g., via ndd) that might help?
