Hi all, Under my snort's statistics, I see results like these every day: *** Caught Term-Signal =============================================================================== Run time for packet processing was 86064.336514 seconds Snort processed 2731635677 packets. Snort ran for 0 days 23 hours 54 minutes 24 seconds Pkts/hr: 118766768 Pkts/min: 1904906 Pkts/sec: 31739 =============================================================================== Packet I/O Totals: Received: 3097205569 Analyzed: 2731635677 ( 88.197%) Dropped: 1427584 ( 0.046%) Filtered: 0 ( 0.000%) Outstanding: 365569892 ( 11.803%) Injected: 0 =============================================================================== But I don't see clearly what it means "Outstanding" packets. According to Snort's docs: Outstanding indicates how many packets are buffered awaiting processing. The way this is counted varies per DAQ so the DAQ documentation should be consulted for more info. Searching inside DAQ's README I don't see any reference about outstanding packets. How daq manages these packets?? How can I reduce outstanding stats?? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
