Title: Seeing drops on <5Mbit of traffic
Hi all,
I'm having an issue where I'm seeing drops when I'm doing captures of around ~4-5 Mbit of traffic (mostly internet traffic between clients and proxy servers). The machine I'm running ethereal on is a very powerful box (Dual 3.0ghz Xeon's). It's running RedHat 9 (with a 2.6 kernel (same issues under 2.4)), and I've tried it with a few different NICs. I'll generally see about a 5% drop rate.
Anything anyone can think of that I should look at that I'm not checking? The compliation is fresh with a fresh libpcap as well. I'm doing the capture with Display during capture disabled & no name resolution…
Thanks,
-Dave
