Re: Poor performance using snort 2.8.x in inline mode

I think that the problem is with network. CPU is idle at 95%. Memory is using at 
50% and I use e1000 nics on this host.

Putting snort without inline mode (but using the same rules) throughput is very 
very acceptable (11 MB/s). I am testing it copying a 100MB file over snort 
bridge ....

Do you know where the bottleneck occurs?

CPU spec and loads?
PCI spec and loads?
What NIC are you using and what driver loaded for it? Is it running in 
interrupt or polling mode?

What was the performance before  that made you decide it is now poor?

Also, what type of traffic are you putting through the box? Packet size 
distribution/protocol? How did you generate it?

Pieter
