Re: More about Outstanding packets

I am using Snort 2.9.7.2 and DaQ 2.0.4 under FreeBSD 10.1 amd64 host 
(fully patched).

And about if this sensor is oversubscribed, in theory no.

Thanks.

Hello,

What version of snort/daq are you using?
Is your sensor oversubscribed?

Subject: [Snort-users] More about Outstanding packets

Hi all,

   Sorry to disturb another time with this. But, my snort sensor is returning a very strange statistics about 
outstanding packets:

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??
