Re: pcap DAQ does not support inline

[Michael Altizer <maltizer () sourcefire com>]

You will not be able to use the AFPacket DAQ module in that scenario.  
The AFPacket DAQ module manually forwards packets completely unmodified 
back and forth across an interface pair (or pairs) when it is in inline 
mode (unless Snort modifies the packet).  This means there will be no 
routing decisions, MAC address updates, or TTL drecrements involved.  
Also, if you're actively having the OS do the routing (or bridging), you 
will end up with duplicate packets being generated by the box.  AFPacket 
operates on copies of packets received on a given interface, and may 
then send out a packet based on that copy in inline mode if the packet 
was not dropped, all of which happens in parallel with any other 
processing the OS is doing with the original packet.
