I've had good success running multiple snorts on one system where each sees part of the traffic and together they can keep up with a faster link than a single process trying to watch everything.I won't deny your experience, but that doesn't make much sense! *shrug*It doesn't make sense that dividing a traffic stream in half and giving each half its own processor allows more traffic to be monitored than trying to watch the same traffic with a single processor?
Ah, multi-processor hardware. Makes perfect sense, now. ;-)
