Hello, I am trying to monitor a high traffic 100Mbs switch port with snort on a 433 MHz Celeron machine running Red Hat 7.2 but snort is dropping about 10% of the packets, even if the CPU load is at an average of 70% (seen with top). Is there any configuration tips for snort or for the Linux kernel to get better performance? Could it be an I/O performance problem? Thanks a lot, Lucas C.
