It seems like I'm on a high traffic volume network and will probably need tp upgrade my libpcap to mmap, unfortunately, I haven't got much success. I don't understand how to get Snort to use the new libpcap. Any pointers would be appreciated. I wonder how the sourcefire products solve this problem? Hugo
I assume you mean the libpcap from Phil Wood ( thanks Phil). I build snort with the pcap libraries linked in statically as follows:LDFLAGS=-static ./configure --with-libpcap-libraries=/path/to/philwood/pcap --with-libpcap-includes=/path/to/philwood/pcap
I also set the environment variable PCAP_FRAMES. I use export PCAP_FRAMES=max in my snort startup script.Using unified logging, a full ruleset, the above referenced pcap on a dual 2.8Ghz Xeon I have < 0.005% drops with traffic in excess of 300Mbs.
