Shawn,

I have not seen any replies to your thread about LSO and DSO or “offloading”. I use ethtool to disable offloading on 
startup. If you haven’t looked into this it may be your issue.

These are my settings in /etc/local.d/ethtool_changes.txt

ethtool --offload enp5s0 rx off tx off
ethtool -K enp5s0 gro off gso off lro off
ethtool -G enp5s0 rx 4096
ethtool -K enp5s0 sg off
ethtool -G enp5s0 tx 4096
ifconfig enp5s0 promisc
ethtool --offload enp6s0 rx off tx off
ethtool -K enp6s0 gro off gso off lro off
ethtool -G enp6s0 tx 4096
ethtool -G enp6s0 rx 4096
ethtool -K enp6s0 sg off
ifconfig enp6s0 promisc

Hope this helps…

Bill

Hello All,

I posted about this issue a little while ago however am still struggling. If anyone could be of assistance it would be 
very helpful.

Currently I am working on a project that Snort++ (3.0.0-a4) is a part of. I’m attempting to run this on a smaller 
single board PC made my PC Engine. Please see the specs here:

- AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC , 1 GHz quad core
- 4 GB DDR-1333
- 3x i210AT LAN

I have successfully built and installed Snort++ on this system but the trouble I am having is horrible throughput (~20 
MBits/sec) on a 100MBits/sec channel. The only modification that I have made to the default configuration is whats 
needed to run in inline mode.

I am using the AFPacket DAQ. Attached to this message is a test through my setup using iPerf and the Snort++ output. 
I’ve also attached my configuration file for Snort++.

All the best,

Shawn
