Dear snort users, I have problems doing stress test on snort. I would like to find at what speeds snort starts dropping packets. I am using tcpreplay to send packets from a tcpdump file at 50Mbps. I am sending packets from two machines at 50Mbps. Snort is running on a third machine. All these machines are connected using a serial cable. None of them is on the Internet. First of all, I would like to know if the packets are being sent out at speeds tcpreplay claims are being sent at. How can find that? I tried using 'ifconfig -a'. But I could not figure it out. Is there a script or some tool that can help me do that? Secondly, How can I find out the rate of capture of packets on the machine running snort? Thirdly, What is the way to find out the speeds at which snort starts dropping packets? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks for your time. Thanks, -Manchala. PS: 1) All my machines are Pentium 4 (1.8GHz) running Redhat 9.0 . 2) I am using snort-1.9.1 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
