Hi After Running TCPDUMP say the following amount is obtained 9298933 packets captured 9298932 packets received by filter 2871368 packets dropped by kernel Can we assume the percentage of packets dropped during capture on that particular interface is approximately packets dropped /(packets dropped + packets captured) * 100% ?? Also, If we are running multiple instance of TCPDUMP on all the interface then why do each of them report different rate of loss ? Is this becasue not all of them get equal CPU time ? and Can a single TCPDUMP monitor on multiple interface ? - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
