I have not dug into it, but netmap i/o should be a performance gain specific to FreeBSD. --- Michael Shirk On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 3:34 PM, Al Lewis (allewi) <allewi () cisco com> wrote:
I am not sure you can with FreeBSD. See below which is taken from the daq readme. NOTE: Linux kernel version 2.6.31 or higher is required for the AFPacket DAQ module due to its dependency on both TPACKET v2 and PACKET_TX_RING support.

I'm having build the afpacket module for freebsd. whenever I attempt to ./configure daq-2.0.4 I get the following output at the end of the configure script: Build AFPacket DAQ module.. : no Build Dump DAQ module...... : yes Build IPFW DAQ module...... : yes Build IPQ DAQ module....... : no Build NFQ DAQ module....... : no Build PCAP DAQ module...... : yes Build netmap DAQ module...... : yes The part i'm interested in is AFPacket, and why its set to no. I asked a little bit about this on the snort IRC channel, and the recommendation I was given to try was to run ./configure --disable-netmap-module which changes to this: Build AFPacket DAQ module.. : no Build Dump DAQ module...... : yes Build IPFW DAQ module...... : yes Build IPQ DAQ module....... : no Build NFQ DAQ module....... : no Build PCAP DAQ module...... : yes Build netmap DAQ module...... : no with seemingly no affect to afpacket DAQ at all. Have any of you had success building afpacket DAQ on freebsd? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer. -- when does reality end? when does fantasy begin? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
