Packet loss more than 60%.

Hi, We have two snort sensors each with 40 cpu cores and running 19 snort instances on CentOS 6.8. I looked at the snort per processes stats on one of the sensors and noticed a less than ideal drop rate: 62.2% 0% dropped 29.5% 1-9% dropped 04.7% 10-19% dropped 02.1% 20-29% dropped 00.8% 30-39% dropped 00.4% 40-49% dropped 00.1% 50-59% dropped 00.1% 60-69% dropped It would make sense that the processes dropping traffic are seeing more traffic, so the total % of packets dropped is likely higher than what the above would indicate. Are there any specific settings that can be tweaked to reduce the capture loss? I think commenting out some rules might be a better approach though. CPU architecture info: Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit CPU(s): 40 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-39 Thread(s) per core: 2 Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Fatema.
