Looking for advice to improve performance

["Price, Jason" <Jason.Price () thomson com>]

I am trying to use tcpdump in conjunction with Shadow (on RedHat Advanced
Server 3) to log all data coming into our organization.  This is a very high
volume of data, and tcpdump seems unable to handle it.  Currently, about 40%
of incoming packets are being dropped by the kernel.

What are my options for improving the throughput of tcpdump?

I'm relatively new to the linux world, so be gentle...  :)
