Looks like it's still dropping about 43% of packets with only 83Mbps right now. I'm guessing it has something to do with packet reassembly in Stream5. If I turn off tcp reassembly, I don't lose any packets, but then I also don't get any alerts. According to the performance stats: Num Preprocessor Layer Checks Exits Microsecs Avg/Check Pct of Caller Pct of Total === ============ ===== ====== ===== ========= ========= ============= ============ 1 s5TcpProcessRebuilt 4 29922 29922 22845088 763.49 4101.47 36.70 You should never turn off stream5. It's more than just a preprocessor, it's the life blood.
Just a guess in there but i guess that the stream5 memcap could be a reason why your dropping stuff, try to raise the bar. -elz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
