Re: More about Outstanding packets

Could you try switching to the afpacket DAQ? Outstanding is calculated as
received - filtered, so it includes packets filtered by your BPF rule.
Currently, the PCAP daq does not count BPF filtered packets.

Thanks,

As you can see outstanding packets grows until 99.461% ... and I don't
understand why. This snort host is monitoring requests from my lan
clients to a Microsoft TMG proxy server. I am using the following bpf
filter to discriminate traffic that comes/go from/to lan clients to/from
proxy and discarding traffic that comes/go to Internet from this proxy
server:

(ip and (net 10.168.0.0/16 or net 10.196.128.0/24 or net 10.196.129.0/24
or net 10.196.130.0/24 or net 172.16.0.0/12 or net 192.168.0.0/16 and
((host 10.196.0.15 and (tcp dst port 80 or (tcp src port 80 and
(tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-syn|tcp-fin) != 0 or tcp[((tcp[12:1] & 0xf0) >>
2):4] = 0x48545450))))))) or (vlan and (net 10.168.0.0/16 or net
10.196.128.0/24 or net 10.196.129.0/24 or net 10.196.130.0/24 or net
172.16.0.0/12 or net 192.168.0.0/16 and ((host 10.196.0.15 and (tcp dst
port 80 or (tcp src port 80 and (tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-syn|tcp-fin) != 0
or tcp[((tcp[12:1] & 0xf0) >> 2):4] = 0x48545450)))))))

All clients connect to this proxy server via 80 port. Or I am doing
something wrong or I don't understand nothing :))

Any help please??
