RE: PF_RING question

[Milani Paolo <Paolo.Milani () TILAB COM>]

Hi dennis,

I think I can answer your question.

The size of the buffers for packets in the ring buffer is set as a module option when inserting the module, as an 
example:

insmod ring.o bucket_len=1514

See the readme in the kernel directory of the ring tar.gz for info on other module options.

User side options like tcpdump -s cannot make you sample more data than has been made available kernel side.

Subject: [Snort-users] PF_RING question

Is there anyone out there using PF_RING for your snort setup?

I seem to have it compiled into the kernel and have a modified libpcap that
works.

The problem is that I think that PF_RING is only letting me see 68 bytes of
every packet.


I'm using env vars  PCAP_FRAMES=max and PCAP_SNAPLEN=1514 but when I
actually sniff the traffic using tcpdump with a -s 1514, I don't see packets
bigger than 68 bytes.

Have any of you clueful persons out there seen this behavior?


Thanks


Dennis
