This should be ok. Can you past your entire stream4 config?

It doesn't have to be a stream4inline issue though. The number of sigs,
preprocessors, etc. can also slow things down. Especially the clamav
preproc.

I think that the problem is the clamav preprocessor too, but I didn't
hope that it was so slow ...


What hardware are you using?

do you have window normalization enabled in your stream4inline config?

hi all,

  I have configured a snort inline on my home network. (i am using
clamav preprocessor on it). First problem is bandwidth: downs from 310
kb to 166 kb (previosly exists some fluctuations) ... Is this normal?
Can I set up some kernel param to increase this bandwidth?? I am using
rhel5 and snor-inline 2.6.1.5

Many thanks.
