Santi,

Disabling preprocessors, disables functionality of Snort. It's not recommended.

What version of Snort are you running?
What version of libpcap are you running?
Please cut and paste your command line here.
Please cut and paste your snort.conf here (please remove anything identifiable as internal.. eg. passwords, home_net..etc.)
Please tell us about your network configuration
Please tell us your hardware configuration.

Dear Snort users, I have written 3 times in snort`s users mailing
list and anybody has answer my question and I am a little bit worried
with my problem.
I am analyzing real traffic with snort and I only use in snort.conf
the rules referring to P2P and all the preprocessors active, when I
replay traffic with tcpreplay at 100 Mb/s it drops the 96% of the
packets and I have read that cancelling the preprocessors it could
work better but it doesn`t.
I don`t know how to change the memcap and also don`t know how to make
snort to use libpcap with mmap that I have read that could be a good idea.

Could anyone help me or say to me something?

Santi
