  Hi all,

 I am trying to run snort inline with jumbo frame traffic, the size of
packet could raise to 65524.
But I face a weird phenomenon, when I enable jumbo frame, the throughput
with snort inline decreases to very low.

Here is my test result:


jumbo frame baseline

525Mbps

jumbo frame with snort inline

4Mbps

MTU 1500 baseline

48Mbps

MTU 1500 with snort inline

37Mbps

My snort version is 2.9.2.3 and I use command "snort -N -d --daq nfq -Q -c
/etc/snort/snort.conf".

I have tried the solution of blog.inliniac.net/**
2008/01/23/improving-snort_**inlines-nfq-performance
But it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any idea? Thanks.

Sam
