Hi,
 
Is there someone here who has tried using tcpdump or dumpcap in capturing packets on a GigE interface, we tried to run it but the system freezes. Is there a way we can use it to capture data. Below are the command we use in capturing data. BTW we are using Sun Solaris9 Sparc (blade 1000). 
 
tcpdump -i ge0 -s 1000 -w sample
 
At first try we were successful using tetheal in capturing packets at 1000 kbytes or 1Mb and manipulate the data, but after trying another caprute the system freeze, now were stuck with it. Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks and more power.....
